Take Harry Potter for example; certain people were said to be good at Charms, others Transfiguation, others Potions. But those are all different fields, so how do you say who the best witch or wizard is? Furthermore, Lockhart sucked at everything but Memory Spells, and so he was able to become really sucsessful by letting other people do the work, wipe their memories, and take the credit. And the Death Eaters and Voldemort are incredibly powerful, easily doing the Unforgivable Curses that most wizards and witches wouldn't be able to do, because of the dark nature of the curses, but on the flipside, none of the Death Eaters or Voldemort can perform a Patronus Charm, that a bunch of 5th year wizards and witches were able to learn. Just something to think about. I completely agree. With the magic having relaxed limits and few battles, it will be difficult to have rankings. I think that we have a conundrum of the plot. We continually have more and more powerful villains, but at some point there will be an end to it. Zelena, form out of nowhere, was stronger than Regina, although probably only slightly before the pendant. Ingrid was then more powerful than Zelena. Now we have QoD, because Maleficent was defeated by Regina and would be a threat on her own (powerwise), Cruella isn't and Ursula could have been. So grouping those thre together can make a reputable force to face.
