I'm willing to give Regina credit, but some people err on giving her too much credit.

Raw Power: Until Regina uses light magic again or use mirror magic to see across realms, I'll put her below Emma and Zelena.

Skill/Knowledge: If Regina goes to Zelena for help, I thik we can say that Regina and Zelena are at least equal. Like Regina went to Zelena to learn how to cast a portal to Emma and use the Apprentice wand fully, she also didn't know how to stop the sining spell in the past, etc.

For example, in my conversation with Carvallo, he places Regina on top of Blue due to Blue not using magic to stop the Woodcutter. But that's a plot thing (plus fairies don't try to hurt people). Blue's magic has been known to leave Regina weakened (with the singing spell) or powerless for days (when she lost the war). This is a raw power feat,

Ingrid neutralized Elsa's powers once: I'd say that Ingrid's magic must be stronger than Elsa's.(not a skill as who would she have spell on?)

So, Blue's (light) magic is stronger than Regina's dark magic. However, Regina has great knowledge of magic and Blue (or any fairy has a lot of weaknesses, like not willing to harm people, having a wand, limited fairy dust, etc).

Regina's one of my favorite characters, but her constant jobbing has to lower her a little. Plus, Regina is still one of the most powerful magic users in all of EF. Only Rumple was above her. I'd put Blue around Regina's level. So, Regina's not a low-grade witch. Give her BW, Cruella, Maleficent, and I's wager, she'd beat them all or outperform them. Give her Cora, she'd likely out do Cora. Give her Zelena and she'll put up a good fight. But she isn't close to being most powerful.

So, I'd say: Raw power: Zelena > Regina, and skill ois the same. Emma's less skilled, but she has a ton of raw power. But the thing is, we can't quantitfy anything. If I put Zelena's raw power at 80, then Emma's would be 77 and Regina's at 74, with witches like BW at like 40. Basically, they are all pretty much the same, with slight differences.
