I was asking a question: Regina broke the petrification spell Dark Swan put on a dwarf. Does that mean Regina is stronger than the strongest Dark One ever? I'm using this to show that someone weaker than the other can still break the stronger one's spell.

That link was the Mirror test where Regina admits that she can't, but Emma has the raw power to do so. Raw power. I'm sure we agree that Regina is far more skilled and will likely beat Emma any day of the week. I'm just saying that raw power wise, Emma's stronger. Since then, Emma has been learning magic. We don't know how much Regina knows relative to Emma, could be a lot, could be the opposite. It's not discussed in detail. If in fact the finale shows that Emma's is at least on par with EQ, then we'll have to wait to see.

In season 4, Regina put up a containment curse that she couldn't break (which was weird), but Emma could break it.

If your tier list goes by skill, Emma should be ahead of Elsa who stumbles her way through magic. If it goes my feats, then Elsa would be ahead of Regina because I'm pretty sure she can't put a wall of ice around town (kidding on the last part!).
