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.

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*?)
