Welcome to the Wiki Chloe, I hope to see you around more and hope to see you add more to your profile!

A great question, unfortunately with no answers. That's kind of like asking whether Morgause told Morgana of Arthur's true parentage during the break... we just don't know, because the show won't cover it and it may never will. Gaius could become too old or ill to do much this season and we may not see much story with him in it. He wasn't in the trailer much. Of course that's just my own speculation, I could be wrong, after all he was on the cover poster, but that does promote only the first parts of Series 5.

I personally think Gaius was born with it, as with Alice, Gilli and the others we know of. You have got to be 'magic sensitive', kind of like 'force sensitive' in Star Wars. :) Otherwise Uther may have been able to learn it! Morgause also used to say "those with magic", so I think it's genetic.
