And yes, the Dark Curse brought a lot of magic to the LWM. It took a great deal of dark magic to keep time frozen and nobody noticing it. It even affected Henry. But that was just part of the rules of the Dark Curse. And either way, the Curse did *not* introduce magic into the town. That did not happen until the very end of Season One and the beginning of Season Two, when Rumpel poured the potion into the well.
