They would be considered gods in most mythologies. Even the Dark One would even though no Dark One has ever shown massive power like Merlin or The ice power trios.

At the end of the day, we don't know where magic ends and divine powers begin because as far as we know, a mid-tier witch Regina has many powers and feats that even the DO barely ever match. I think the difference would be that Ingrid, Elsa, and Merlin are not immortal though. Whereas (assuming Once sticks to the myths) Posiden and Hades would be immortal. I was talking about beings like the Norse gods which exist in Once. Anyhow, Merlin was immortal with a small caveat. He showed God-like powers, yet why not consider him deity level. Well, the other difference between Merlin and actual Gods would be that Merlin was a human who was granted powers, whereas the Gods would be born with powers, traditionally. Also, we don't actually know if the Norse gods exist on Once. They have only mentioned Asgard in passing (but it was by MM and David, so it could be from their cursed memories), and had a Norse goddess on a non-canon comedy sketch, but that's it. WHEN WAS THIS? It's called "Three Who Stayed", it was on the Season 4 DVD.
