If I look at it through a lens of reality I guess I can see why so many of you are upset.

We’re not looking through a real world lens, we’re looking at it as them messing around with rules the writers have created within their own universe. To cast the Curse, one must die. All magic comes with a price, and none moreso than this particular Curse.

When constructing a fantasy universe, you need to establish rules that govern that universe, and they have done so on this show. Because it’s a foriegn universe to us, those rules are necessary to establish it as being a believable world. If you then toss those rules out the window, like they did here, your story loses credibility.
