That was okay, given that Blue was hyped up to be a decent magical power. Zelena set up born with magic like Emma, which was iffy because that changed Regina and Cora's source of power.

Now, Frozen....In Frozen, Elsa's magic is pretty much broken. She has untold magical powers that don't fit together and is quite op (in that world). They then tried to squeeze that into Once and it didn't work. Either, Elsa has to be toned down, or Once has to step everyone else up. Emma has a freak out, but it's power surges within ten, twenty feet. Rumple gets violent and an entire ship's deck starts going wack. Elsa gets scared and she caused a regional blizzard that freezes a fjord and that's just part of it. One of these things is not like the other. But that was the tip of the iceberg.

Then, Good Old Dark One went from immortal dark Wizard, just besting Cora and Zelena and Regina, to on-par with the God-like Sorcerer Merlin. They even treat Merlin post death as still stronger than the Dark One (even with twice the power!). Hades thinks little of Rumple, but can't deal with Merlin's magic (which somehow still exists). Rumple still uses the Merlin Wand (which somehow still works?) to create portals. Even the Dragon seems up to portal-making (failed, but at least he tried) and using magic in LWM before Rumple. Everyone par Rumple/Merlin/Pan/Nimue/Hook/Henry/Cruella/Authur was born with Magic. Zeleena was the only person who was able to use her magic at birth. Cora/Zeleena/Emma/Regina/Fairies/Maleficent/etcwere born with magic in them. They learned to use it latter in life though.

As far as Rumple is concerned the reason he was considered so powerful was because he was immortal. He gained knowledged throughout his lifetime aloowing him to be as powerful as he is now. When he first became the Dark one he wasn't as powerful as he now. The messed the Dark one Storyline up when they made Emma and Hook into the dark one.

Knowledge is the most important when it comes to power but some people think raw power is but it isn't. When it comes to witches Knowledge will always trump raw power.
