Yes Emma was able to break Regina's barrier but Regina was able to defeat Ingrid's ice monster that Emma wasn't able to. So how do you reconcile that? Emma was barely even able to scratch the monster while Regina basically obliterated it. In terms of Regina's light magic, Kitis has said that since Regina has reformed her ways that her magic is "often a blend of both." Kitis had also said "I would hope so" when asked if we would see Regina's light magic again. So anyone saying that we've only seen her use light magic twice or that her using light magic was a fluke/one-time event is going directly against what a creator of the show is telling us. Just because Regina's magic doesn't look like Emma's doesn't mean that Regina hasn't been using light magic. Kitis also directly responded to this when asked why Regina's magic is red, "Fire burns hot, and Regina's got a lot of fire." So based upon what Kitis had said and the fact that it was Regina's "strongest form of light magic" that defeated Zelena, I hold Regina up highly. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Regina doesn't have a power issue, she has a confidence issue. Is Regina the most powerful? NO, not at all. But she is in no way weak like some posters here want to make her out to be.

Fact is we all have our opinions and we all have our own ways of interpreting what the show shows us. No one is going to convince anyone else that their opinion is wrong.
