But there is apparently characters that can control magic further, such as in Merlin's case. But light magic > dark magic. Knowing this, Emma could have grey magic, and what the Hell would that look like? No, light magic isn't significantly more powerful than dark magic, just the users have varying strengths. Regina's dark magic/ hatred was greater than the light magic of Ingrid's sisters and their sisterly true love.

Emma is the strongest raw power wise because of a tons of factors, but Regina isn't number 2 and hasn't even been using light magic since that one time.

Like this (imo): Weak light magic beats weak dark magic, but Srong dark magic beats weak light magic
