I'll give it a go (even though much was disputed on the "Who's the most powerful?" thread. I'll base on raw power and knowledge.

S+ tier: All Deities.

S tier: Those blessed or cursed by deities with some oomph, even genies or Author (but they're a special case). Rumple (current), Dark Swan, Merlin

S- tier: All other Dark Ones

A+ tier: Zelena (boosted), the Apprentice, Peter Pan

A tier: Jafar (with Staff), Zelena, Emma, Regina, Cora, Amara, Oz witches (boosted), Blue, Ingrid

A- tier: Any other typical witch, wizard, or Fairy....and Elsa

Well, that's a pretty non tiered list. XD

If anything I try to use show magic math than anything else. Sorcerer's hat could have used Apprentice + Emma, but used Apprentice + Blue and co. Thus in raw power, Blue's less than Emma, item dependent, but more versatile and knowledgeable. The other fairies I count for neglible raw power to a degree as I think it sort of comes from Blue anyhow given that she literally can strip someone of their fairy-ness.

But of course, magic on Once is very OP, very dependent, and more wacked out than the original fairytales.
