If for people, though... can't say for sure - they all seem to have soft spots. Well, it's not "The Darkness" as in the Dark One as that's just Holy Grail magic corrupted. It's not technically eternal. I think you're talking about the abstract concept. And even in concepts, Light always triumphs over Dark. Hmm. Maybe, maybe not. In my experience, light can be here and there, but darkness always stays - when we close our eyes, when we make shadows, during the night, in the universe... the space as we know it was colored pitch black, not other color, and God himself probably wouldn't need to actively spend Day One to create light had it existed before darkness.

Though darkness may not always be a bad thing. It gives serenity, peace, silence, reflection... feels somewhat soothing. I like the lyrics, "Hello darkness my old friend..." LOL Cool, but this is power ranking various magic users in Once. Not abstract entities and the like.

Then there'll be a lot of variables to take in. allies, loved ones, power fierceness, deployment ethics, weaknesses, vulnerablilties... Rumple wields Dark One magic, but can be strained by the Dagger, and he himself, being part human, has human emotions. Peter Pan powerful, sure, but when he was active his power was limited by time, and he can still be killed by stab wound from the Dagger. Regina... hard-core surface with a gentle heart, and growing more lovely by each episode. And Emma was like still on her augmentation path. Hard to decide a pinnacle - might as well let Paris decide. LOL
