I'm not saying she wouldn't be powerful on her own, but the "savior" bit definitely makes her as super powerful as she is. Hmmm, interesting. I think of it as the product "of the truest love" since Rumple had to cultivate and use it in his curse to make her the Savior, especially given that Regina broke the second Dark Curse.
