User blog comment:Uncleho/Perhaps this is how Arthur learns of Merlin's magic?/@comment-5674726-20121118171937

It's a good idea but, at this point, I wonder if the writers have let the reveal storyline drag on too long. Merlin must have been Arthur's manservant for a good ten or eleven years by this point so is there a way they can handle the reveal so that it won't be either completely anti-climactic or accepted too readily?

Arthur genuinely believes that magic corrupts so, even if Merlin tells him about his magic and about the times he has used it to save Camelot, will Arthur believe him?
