Is it cannon that this spring will split cursed victums, or just a fanfic
convention?  I've a possible resolution to a fic idea that hinges on
making an exact replica, instead of splitting the curse.

It's fanfic convention, although the *existence* of SOD Twins *is*
canon.  The only demonstrated effect in the manga was to duplicate
a lump on Happousai's head when a drop accidentally fell on him.
However, Ranma & co go into fits of horror when the Jusenkyo Guide
rings them up and tells them that Tarou has been given the water

>from the wrong spring, saying things like one Happousai is enough

and so on.

It also made an identical copy of a bird when Ranma
and co. were fighting somewhere above Nerima and some
of the water spilled out. My guess is that it only
made a copy of Happosai's lump because it wa the lump
that was splashed.

Other than that, however, Archive is quite correct -- what would
it do to a cursed victim?  Could go either way.

(Besides, who ever said the twins drowned were *identical*?)
