Here's the problem with Hook casting the curse. Whose heart does he use. The only person he loves (besides himself) is Emma. and Emma's heart (If they stick to the story from Season 2) is untouchable. and assuming that Hook is an extension of Merlin, that would mean using Nimue's heart, which is also Emma. It just doesn't work.

Emma, on the other hand, works well, if it is the Nimue aspect of the darkness that casts the curse. This opens up the possibility of using Merlin's heart for the curse, and Merlin is one of 2 people that we have not seen in Storybrooke (the other being Lancelot).

If Hook is the one that ends up casting the curse, I'm moving him up the chart on most powerful.
