I'm confused. People keep saying that it was the combination of the magic of the Coven of the Eight that created the witch, even though it was stated that there were eight ingredients, not magic (Regina: "I can't just... can't just cast a curse. It takes time, and... ingredients." Drizella: "Eight, to be exact.").

Honestly, I think assuming that this is a new curse is a bold claim, and it either needs to be confirmed on screen or by a writer/A&E.

I think the safest thing we can do to avoid inaccuracies is accept Eskaver's chicken theory/analogy.
