Noone knows where they originated. The Wizard of Oz in Once just so happneed to have acquired them. Likely they were enchanted by some sorcerer or witch of Oz at some time.

Not everything requires origins or details as they would get messy. Only original stuff needs some explaining such as the Dark Curse and the Merlin wand. The rest are just relics of fairytale and classic lore.

I mean, technically we should have found out how magic beans grow into beanstalks, yet don't make random portals, unless the giants realm was somehow another realm.

The Merlin wand is a plot hole waiting as if it's tethered to Merlin's light magic, then why does it still work since Merlin's magic is now Dark One magic. No Dark One could even travel across worlds or in between the LWM and back (as the Aprrentice did thrice). The wand was forged by both sides of magic, light and dark, but does that mean that Merlin had light and dark magic, while the Dark Ones due to their corruption lost their light magic and grew weaker? Well, besides being my theory, it's still a plothole, that won't be explained as the time for these explanations have long passed by.

So, I do agree they should be explained, but I think it's a bit late for that.
