The fact that they made Regina's spell look like it requires effort and that it seems quite ritualistic shows the complexity of magic used in the show's lore. Especially since the technical side of magic was glossed over in "The Jolly Roger" when Regina was trying to train Emma.

Although, I do feel like they just drew random rune and alchemical symbols. I agree. Maybe, maybe not, because they drew an awful lot of them. Hopefully, someone or if I ever feel up to it, will see if it means anything. I doubt it's phrases, so it's likely random with no need to decipher it.
