Yes, Neal hates magic.... but he also endangered the well-being of a 4-year-old, to get to Neverland. His desperation caused him to a selfish, and reckless decision. Neal is also the son of Rumplestiltskin, and the grandson of Peter Pan. Both of whom were terrible father figures, and made countless, cowardly decisions. His ancestry may finally, catch up with him.

That said.... Neal casting the new curse, probably will not happen. However, his and Belle's, actions may indirectly cause it. They are, both, looking for a way to resurrect Rumplestiltskin. Nothing good can come from that, if the Dark One's dagger falls into the wrong hands. A lot of people seem to forget, just how dangerous the Dark One's powers are. Especially, if the Dark One is being controlled by another.
