It sure must be dependent on relative magic power. Or else Dimaria > all Spriggan except August, but that's not the case even canonically. Scratch that, Dimaria is then all that's required to beat Acnologia. Have Dimaria stop time for Acno, have her release it for Dragon Slayers, donezo!
IMO Dimaria clearly can't do it.
Yeah, Neinhart was able to resist because his magic power was amped by Eileen.
Brandish used magic on her knife, not on August himself. If you're talking about her shrinking August's wounds, August clearly gave her consent for that.
Completely fucking agreed lol. Hax is just boring and lazy writing IMO, especially shit like time stop. I'm fine with haxes with moderation tho: like Midnight's reflector, fairy law, Mest's mind control, Ajeel's intangibility, Jellal's self destruction or bind snake, Rouge's shadow mode etc.....even Erza's Nakagami..........There are reasonable counters to those, or they have some limitations (like cast time, time limit, area limit etc).
But shit like timestop and August hax tho......WTF are those !?
Makes no sense that END < FDKM. FDKM with Igneel flames? Sure
MP doesn't matter, overall strength matters. If Mashima views a certain character stronger than another, then hax or no that character will win. They don't even necessarily need to find a counter to the hax, or be immune to it, or even have too much MP for it, they'll just win. Like END vs Dimaria, END was stronger so he won, with Dimaria's hax not mattering at all. Laxus vs Wahl, Laxus was stronger, so lightning immunity can't stop him from killing Wahl. Jellal vs OS, Jellal was stronger, so Midnight's hax don't mean shit, Jellal didn't even need a special method to get around Reflector, his spells just hit regardless. The only time hax works on someone stronger is when plot needs it to, to get rid of that stronger character for a while, like Mest and Brandish or Aria and Makarov, and this almost always happens as a surprise attack.
Power>Hax. No matter how good your hax is, whether its Dimaria, Brandish, Seilah or whoever, if they ever face someone stronger than they are, then they'll lose, even with their logically unbeatable hax.

They way he fucked up Dimaria. END was only getting stronger since, he was getting more demonic (stronger) as the fight progressed, which means he got significantly stronger than when he finished off Dimaria. Also, yes, hype lol.

It's the way he fucked her up. Dimaria was acting like she was scarred for life lol, was utterly terrified of his power. Which means he should at least be a tier above her. And he only kept getting stronger.
FDKM has one shotted Jacob and a featless war god, what other feats does it have? Don't get me wrong, FDKM is clearly strong, I think it's between 2-2.5x boost to base. But I see no evidence that it's stronger than END.
He's getting downplayed because people think Gray is weak.
Gray just had beat Invel, Zeref's right hand man (he's at least top 6 Spriggan) and had got a big powerboost from that fight.
END and Gray had been trading blows and spells all along, and Erza stopping their blows caused significant damage to her arms (the arm to Gray was crumbling and arm to END was fried). Clearly they're not weak,
We know that he was strong enough to get Acno interested to show up in Tartarus. But then again, Mashima completely fucked up that storyline by retconning everything to having Mard 'made up' the story about END.
So, I don't know.

For all we know, she could've gone God mode in her timestop, and returned back once she was done
He got past he hax and messed her up in her base because he was END (Im pretty sure that was stated). It would be like Gildarts fighting Brandish without her END. He also used a FDK move on Zeref.
No one thinks Gray is weak, it's that the fight was so bad that it's almost like an anti-feat. Not one named spell happened. Then Erza casually stopped their attacks.....bruh.
He destroyed Invel
Acno shows up where there is chaos. There was chaos with FT and Tartaros. Acno laughed when Igneel said that he fears END.
No Spriggan except Eileen, August, Serena and Jacob faced Acno tho.
Eileen wasn't terrified because she already had a plan; and Acno didn't one shot her because he didn't realize she was a DS.
August was absolutely terrified when Serena got one shot lmao. See his reaction. He knew he could've been Serena if Acno wanted to kill him. Same with Jacob.
Full powered END would definitely be strong considering it's Natsu like @Jean Grey. He would two or three above Acno and the only way to stop him is through Lucy's speech but it END was separate being then he is as much as fodder Zeref was.
