After Sisters, Cora shows a teeny bit more of her powers and apparently even has a wand. I feel that this would best describe the Mills women.

You have three students of an instructor (Rumple). One has taken this class for a long time. One is naturally talented. And the last is one that struggles, but works hard. I think that best describes them. But after the episode Sisters I feel that there's no real way to determine the levels of strength among them (without the particular amps) and their magical knowledge. I would say that they are probably just around all the same strength (pull from an equal weighted pool of magic)0 just with varying degrees of difficulty and knowledge.

Why? Because Cora extinguished her daughters fireballs easily, showing her knowledge and that was on display.

So, power equalized and speed trivialized, I would say that all three have the same knowledge base with Cora a little more knowledgeable in magical affairs, Zelena a little due to Ozian stuff, and Regina with potioncraft and witchy friends.

So, amongst the Mills, Zelena and Regina are more likely to go straight to choke or fireball, while Cora's not shy from fireballs herself, she does rather tend to go for her restrictive TK, rather the outright choke.
