Any inconsistencies or weird things have to be PIS or WIS. All I'll say to this is again is it's all plot. We can't always believe what the show tells us. We were told that Regina and Rumple were the two most powerful practitioners of magic and we now know that's not the case. Yes we've been told Zelena is stronger than Regina on more than one occasion but when Regina used light magic, Zelena lost. When it was the EQ vs Zelena (w/o her pendant), Zelena lost. For always chanting "Wicked Always Wins," Zelena sure does seem to lose to her Evil Queen Sister quite a bit and more importantly, at the worst possible times. If we have to believe what the show shows us in regards to who is stronger between the two then we have to believe everything they show us including how Regina knew the wand would weaken Zelena while Zelenda didn't. We also have to believe that Regina could make the wand work without an object of Zelena's while Zelena couldn't get it to work without an object of Emma's. We can't cherry pick what to believe (cannon) and what not to believe (chalking it up to the writers forgetfulness). It's all or nothing because frankly we have no way to distinguish the two.

But I guess the fact is now that Regina is more powerful than Zelena because Zelena no longer has any magic. If only Zelena had listened to Regina she would still have her powers right now.
