I ignore the fact that Regina summoned the tornado, while Zelena had a backlash. Mostly because it was said that you have to recover from the anti-magic cuff, which Zelena had to recover from that and then she never had the chance to fully recover as she was doing magic left and right and healing and poofing and glamoring and using telekinesis. While Reigna was simply fine before she used magic. When was it stated that you had to recover from putting on the anti-magic cuff? As I understand it the cuff blocks but does not drain magic.

Zelena's healing and poofing were just "parlour tricks" according to Rumple since Hook was doing the same thing - healing Rumple's leg, poofing all over the place etc. So it probably does not put any signficant strain on an advanced magic user.
