Eskaver wrote: It's usually, if you take a long time on a protection spell like Cora, then you're likely equal or slightly weaker than that person. Same way with Rumple when taking down the protection spell after Pan (in Henry's body) knocked out Regina. If anything Emma shows that she's stronger (a little stronger at least) than Regina when she broke the containment spell that apparently Regina herself couldn't break.

1. Mal vs Ingrid: They are both strong wide-range spell casters whether freezing or sleep-spelling an entire town. Maleficent hasn't show great versatility, other than shapeshifting and generic witchcraft, but she seems to be decent in speed. Ingrid's ice viking taking both Emma and Regina means that she's likely well versed in her powers and likely stronger than Regina, no doubt and around Emma's level if not stronger. Ingrid has a decent speed as well. Mal is more likely to be bloodlusted versus Ingrid who's likely smarter. It can go either way, but I'll say Ingrid 6/10.

2. Cora versus Mal: Cora studied from Mal's book, so likely Cora is the more knowledgeable one of the two. Cora is likely also the smarter one. Mal has great range powers and Cora excels like all her daughters in the arts of dark magic. Cora has the best hand gestures around (if you look, Barbara Hershey plays Cora so wonderfully), but she's not anything abnormal with magic speed. Faster than Regina, but not by much (likely due to age). Even though Maleficent could bring the heat to Ingrid, I'd say that Cora would edge out a victory from what we've seen and implied knowledge, 6/10. But then again, Cora is my favorite villain, XD.

3.  Regina versus Ingrid: Regina's slower, weaker, but more versatile. Regina's impulsive whereas Ingrid is calm and collected. Ingrid takes this 7/10. (Regina almost always starts with a fireball or force choke and Ingrid could outspeed her.)

4. Emma versus Jafar: If Jafar doesn't have the staff (aka Amara), Jafar loses and Emma wins 9/10. Without the staff, he can light a fire, do weaker telekinesis than Amara, and knows an immolation (disintegration) spell and even immobolization. With the staff, he likely (and did) immobolized an entire room, disintegrated an entire room of people, and even did an small earthquake. He was somewhere close to probably Rumple (or Zelena) in power, but he wasn't really versatile. When Cyrus took the staff, Jafar showed that he couldn't poof, couldn't take a heart, and stuff. So, without the staff, Emma wins 9/10. With the staff, Jafar wins 6/10.

5. The Apprentice versus Zelena: Zelena with the pendant, then that's a tad closer. The Apprentice doesn't seem to use offensive magic and tries to live a simple life. So, in character, Zelena would win 6/10, but if the Apprentice actually tries to fight with magic, he'd win 8/10. Zelena without the pendant, the same logic follows.

6.  Regina versus Amara: Versatility is likely tied as Amara showed unique skills which Regina likely doesn't know and vice versa. Honestly, it's probably tied. He haven;t seen to much of her, but she was stronger than Jafar (without the staff) and Jafar I think is weaker than Regina. So, I'd say tie.

7.  Ana versus Blue: Blue. Ana isn't great, but Blue stood up to Zelena and that means she at least stood a chance. So, Blue 10/10.

8. DO Rumple (first time) versus Merlin. Merlin could traverse worlds, yet Rumpel couldn't. So, Merlin 9/10. Look, I really do not know why you guys overestimate so much ingrid, she showed nothing so extraordinary, the only things really "awesome" was fueling elsa´s ice barrier (anyone managing to break it) and freezing all Arendelle (only beings normal, I do not see the application of it in a fight), but other than that, everything else have  explanation, like the ice Viking she did, we do not know how long she took to do it, but we can assume that not was as fast as elsa made her, after she tells elsa "i`ll make a snowman" she leaves and takes a while (she does not make such a strong monster like this in seconds), and even taking time she was still around using magic to regenerate and giving support for the monster, apparently to emma and regina did not kill him fast.

in the fights:

1 Mal vs Ingrid: i Really do not understand why you gave the victory to Ingrid, you said that Mal didnt showed a great variety ,but it certainly she showed more than ingrid showed (she transmutes ,uses fire, bursts of energy and she have the sleeping spell) all of this things ingrid does not has , beyond what maleficent alone could hold for a while Chernabog, and in a  fight  maleficent  could cast the sleeping spell easily on ingrid. and if ingrid wore ice, maleficent has fire (she probably has the best  fire magic of the show) i give Maleficent 7/10

2 I agree with you, cora is extremely  powerful and intelligent, the only one  witch described by rumple to overcome she directly was zelena, only gice her  7/10

3 First, I'm talking about the evil queen not of regina (yes, makes difference), it was only to see the feats of speed of one and the other ,when she was bad, she was more determined and  her magic was fueled by her hate .I do not know why you think she is more slower and weaker? From where you took, the evil queen was weaker in power than the snow queen ??. even considering that she can denfender  ingrid`s ice with fire and she still have ( paralyze,transmutation, sleeping spell, high development of telekinesis may break necks). r the evil queen taking it 7.5 / 10

4. jafar know paralyze and  he has high use of telekinesis, thing that emma does not have today, I think she would lose by variety .also jafar 7/10

5. I agree, but I do not know how he is in attack ,in that area i think he is weak, then give 2 to zelena

6. Still regina, mades better, stronger raw magic and variety 8/10

7. I agree, but would not be so easy, I think  merlin  would   win only by knowledge, because in raw power they have the same .6 / 10

ps:the evil queen can turn a gnome in quickly stone (1x02), it can use a variation of the stoppage to bring down the lost boys and all the 7 dwarfs (3x02), it can quickly paralyze daniel and the arthur (2x05 and 5x07), struck maleficent playing a chandelier on top of it, zelena, the teleportanto to the clock tower and sending back to Oz trough of a tornado and pan, tearing his heart (1x02,5x11 and 3x09) quickly broke the neck of a guard and a villain (3x06 and 5x11), teleported ana and Kristoff to the limits of storybrok (4x11) etc
