About the ranking, i do not agree to put ingrid and Emma (Emma can stay  aboce than in the future but not now ) above cora and regina, rumple himself said indirectly that cora is more powerful than ingrid and said that the evil queen was his best apprentice (really I do not think that ingrid is  more powerful than the evil queen, if you want I list the facts)

ps: pan doesnt resisted rumple magic, rumple who chose to sleep only the lost boys We're looking only at raw power here, skill level is something else entirely. Emma's pretty powerful, but she just doesn't care to learn how to properly use her magic. Ingrid's magic seems to be amiguously limited to ice and snow, althoguh she has been able to cast unrelated simple magic spells. But they're both quite powerful.

And Ingrid was never Rumpel's apprentice. He really just met her that one time and never really looked into it further.

And taking the 3x16 letter into account, Rumpel's most powerful student was Zelena. What Rumpel calls Regina in 5x22/23 is "his best student"; Zelena may have been quite powerful but she wasn't nearly as submissive to Rumpel as Regina was. She couldn't be called his best student under those behavioural circumstances ok, I get it, only in a matter of raw power i do not think ingrid is stronger than cora or regina, because indirectly is written in the letter that cora is more powerful than ingrid.and talking about regina be the best rumple apprentice, I agree that he is not talking entirely about  power but means greater knowledge, effort and skill on magic Nope. The letter was Rumple telling Cora that Zelena was more powerful than Cora. Zelena was the most powerful sorceress he had ever met.

The tricky thing about raw power is that Ingrid and Elsa have really big bursts of magic, so we can't quantitify who actually has more.

So, of the Mills women, Zelena is the most powerful, Regina's the best student, and Cora has experience. It's pretty much as my example goes, Zelena's the natural dancer, Regina's the one that studies hard, Cora's the one that toool the dance class a few times. Who's better? Well, depends. But it's very likely that they are all about the same.

Ingrid and Elsa might have large spouts of power, but the Mills are more diversified and knowledgeable.

in simplicity, raw power nis hard because the show changes who can do what and when.
