Maleeficent did so with out smoke. So, I think the smoke my not alwauys be seen cononically.

As of season 3's showing Pan is more powerful than Rumple. Pan's magic derives from pixie dust (or rather the Island's magic plus the ability to shadow rip). Although knowing the origins of the DO, Rumple should technically win, but the writers write with contradictions.

I'll say Rumple wins, hands down. (Lets' get rid off that both have to die because that made no sense and was never explained.)
