1)Rumplestiltskin/Hades/Nyx:

Rumple has the combined power of every Dark one that ever lived (Including Emma, as says), and seeing as one Dark one seemed to stand head and shoulders above the rest until the likes of Pan was introduced, it would stand to reason that he is now far beyond anyone else. Now remember, Rumple (for all his powers) are a coward by nature, and thus back down from many fights he potentially could have won, yet he was pretty determined to take Hades on in a 1v1...in his own realm. and a 2. time with his father, when hades had backup in the form of Emma.

Hades:... He is a god.

Nyx, IMO a wildcard. I actually believe that she is what weaker than the geine's she creates, in that i believe she has a certain set of skills whe can use, nothing more, nothing less. and she is bound as a guardian.

2)Genies: although they possess vast powers, they are still bound by the rules of magic (unless you combine the 3 Nyx made). They do however lack free will.

3)Pan: Seemed equal to slightly more powerful than the dark one, when at normal lvls. also laughed at the Wicked witch when she stated that her heart was protected by magic.

4) Merlin/ Gideon/ Black fairy

Merlin: Equal to a single dark one

Gideon: not much is known at the time, but seeing that he was able to freeze rumple (which squid ink is now incapable of doing) I'd reckon he at the very least should be at about this lvl. I do not think he is anywhere near rumple in terms of power, but powerful enough to have an effect... I mean, Gold seemed to be taken by suprise, and it didn't exactly seem like he tried to break free, and Emma was able to knock him down with her own magic.... and I don't quite see her on Gold's lvl anymore... so... abc. Not to mention that he is, by the look on his face when Emma put a blade on his throat, he is a mortal, unlike others on this list.

Black fairy: Seemed confident when facing Rumple pre re- emerging as the dark one. though, I'd credit much of it to the Rumples cowardness, not to mention the knowledge that she was rumples mother.

5)Zelena(W/pendant)/Cora: Though I would give Zalena an edge when it comes to raw power, I'd still consider Core the more dangerous due to knowledge, exp, etc. without the pendant, I'd might be inclined to hand Cora power aswell, seeing as she easilly put out both Zelena's and Regina's fireballs when they all met in the underworld, and many, many other feats of power she has to her name.

6) Maleficent (after her return) /Ingrid/Blue Fairy/the Apprentice

7) Regina/ Emma/ Glinda/The Dragon

8)Lesser practitioners, curse beares (DunBroch witch, Amara, Blind Witch, Midas)
