It says he's stronger than The Black Fairy

[Rhaeroga]

He had the chance to take her head on and opted out. He wasn't opting out with the likes of Hades, whom you call Rumple's equal. Also, the Ursula as a queen of darkness had 0 magic. She was clearly not on the same level as when she had the trident and was 'stronger than Poseidon'. Poseidon and Hades should be comparable and >>>>>>>>>>>>> regular dark one Rumple > queens of darkness. He only becomes god-level after 5A, and even then he is below Fiona, who was heavily, HEAVILY implied to be the strongest character, with statements of being able to break the laws of magic + with a curse that was literally destroying everything everywhere lile alt + delete.

Fiona > Ursula/Rumple> Rumple/thegods (Bar Zeus, who might be above them all) >qod (including the non-trident Ursula.)

I see a big problem with your scalling here. Like, a very big problem.

You're describing Fiona as stupidly powerful, and she's not. She would only get that powerful after killing Emma, and only the she would be able to break the laws of magic and yada yada yada. You must recall she's damn right dead, and guess what, Rumple killed her.

Current scalling is accurate.

Rumple killed her with her own wand, which can only also control her. That's like saying Belle banishing Rumple from Storybrooke with his dagger means Belle > Rumple. There is a reason Rumple didn't try to attack her. She could easily sense and insta-retrieve his dagger, which he couldn't do to either his own dagger or to her wand.

Fiona wouldn't get even a shred more powerful after killing Emma. That was just to avoid the fate of being killed by her. Nothing indicates her becoming more powerful with Emma's death.

Current scaling is inaccurate. EVEN if you consider her not THAT powerful pre-Emma's death, she is still, at THE very least, tied with Rumple, and even that's not likely, given his fear of her and his lack of fear toward Hades.

The wand's mechanics is completely different from the dagger, as far as I'm concerned. It was never said they were anyhow similar, therefore your logic is completely wrong. Also the wand was implied in earlier episodes of earlier seasons to answer to the wielder's natural power, which only proves my point. Also also, that whole "retrieving the dagger" feat is a very good PIS. If she could simply do it about any time she needed to, she wouldn't have died in the hands of Rumple. She'd have summoned the dagger and "lol drop my wand and sit" him away.

Rumple can, also, summon the wand and the dagger, as he has already done before - he barely needs to know where it lies, since that's how magic works. Even the Blue Fairy can do similar things and Rumple has already defeated her many, many times.

I'm sorry? You must have watched a different series, because Fiona literally says Emma's death would give her "unchecked powers" and that the she would be free from the LoM.

That point of Rumple's fear is barely a point at all. He's been depicted all along the series as a big coward, and that was a characteristic of his that he only managed to overcome in the last season, after Belle's death. He's been afraid of the likes of Pan and Cora, but not due to their superior power (they are not, by any means, superior to him), but due to specific psychological issues of Rumple's. Rumple was afraid of Pan due to the fact that, by that time, the only way he could have defeated his father was by killing himself too. He was afraid of Cora due to the fact that she was a threat to Belle and to Henry. He was also afraid of Hades (he was, we can see it in his expressions and reactions here) due to the fact that he could have taken his son away. And finally, he was afraid of his mother due to the fact that she could harm both Gideon and Belle. Nothing related to power here.

If something as vague as "fear" could be somehow used as a prove of power, then the Black Fairy's inferior to Rumple. She clearly stated she sent Belle away because she would have convinced him to go against his dark instincts and, if she was all that powerful, she wouldn't have to bother with him turning on her. Which she did. Clearly. All the time.

TL; DR
This whole discution is pointless. The whole debate was explored in depths here, and I would appreciate if you went there and read. It should save us some time.
