SnowQueenFan1993 wrote: I personally think you are overestimating Regina's Power level. The Snow Queen was a lot more powerfull then Regina even though Regina knew a few more tricks in Dark magic then Ingrid. She was a naturally powerfull sorceress just like her two propheciced magical sisters Emma and Elsa. The Spell of Shattered Sight probably took a lot more magical power to cast then the dark Curse as it required most of the magic of three of some of the most powerfull sorceresses known in the realms to cast and i doubt that even if Regina would have siphoned Elsa and Emma's magic that she would have been able to cast it. My thoughts are that she couldnt turn the snow monster into anything because the magic used to create it was much stronger then her magic and it was also a kind of magic Regina had no experience with. And i always thought that when you have more magical power you can easily neutralise a less powerfull sorceress like Ingrid did with Regina by just raising her hand. For me that scene when Ingrid neutralised Regina she must have thought "wow she really is overestimating her power someone should put her in her place*

As for the light magic for that i have another theory about that. Remember when Zelena siphoned that light magic away from Emma with that cute reanimation scene with Emma and hook ? When Rumple trapped Ingrid with the dust of the urn to prevent her from intervening did you remember what he said ? Something in the area of "Magic doesnt just dissappear. So my thought is that when Emma lost her light magic the magic merely went to Regina. Then when Emma got her magic back the light magic left Regina again and went back to Emma.

Let me know what you think Lets for the hell of it and say the Snow Queen was stronger then Regina(Which I doubt) that wouldn't have stopped her from turning the Snow monster into an Ice Cube. She turned Zeleena's flying Monkey into a stuffed animal and Zeleena was suppose to be more powerful then her. She reversed Dark Emma's stone spell with a snap of her fingers and Dark one Emma is suppose to be one of the most powerful witches. So even if Ingrid was more powerful then Regina that wouldn't have stopped her from turning the Snow monster into a damn Ice cube. Regina is way more powerful then light magic Emma and Elsa. With one fire Ball she easily destroyed Elsa's snow monster.

Also it took 3 witches power to cast shatter sight so that doesn't mean Ingrid is more powerful then Regina that would mean a combination of Emma, Ingrid and Elsa is more powerful then Regina. My point being is what was stopping Regina from turning Ingrid to Stone or freezing her and ripping her heart? Nothing but plot. Only spell Regina ever used against Ingrid is fireballs. Regina and Emma was able to cause an eclipse which is more impressive then anything Ingrid had did.

Also I can't be overrating Regina when all those feats named are cannon. If Ingrid was more powerful then Regina then why did the producers/directors only have her use fire balls against the snow Queen?
