Anyhow,  Pan put the enchantment on there so of course he wouldn't be affected. Rumple didn't use magic after the cuff.

Regina was weak from torture but Blue said given time her magic wil return. As we know, she later could use magic and that was a few hours later.

Zelena used magic right away and even if you say Rumple did use magic to summon the shadow (which I'm certain he did not) then it's a testament to their power. Plus, nothing Rumple did after was close to summoning a realm crossing tornado.

The Regina wand thing is a fluke anyway because they retconned the reason why Regina couldn;t use the wand. Regina believed in herself always so that didn't make any sense what so ever. At most they are on par, but nothing more.
