But when Merlin doesn't do anything to rescue innocent sorcerers everything is OK.

That's the kind of thing that makes me wonder if the golden age Merlin hoped for with magic legalised in Camelot was actually possible. Surely there would have to be a very sizeable number of magic users who regarded Merlin as a traitor for protecting the King who persecuted them and who would have regarded any move made by Guinevere to repeal/soften the laws against magic after Arthur's death as too little, and much too late.
