I think that despite he has Magic Merlin did it for Arthurs life. Because if Arthur dies then they won't be able to unite all the kingdoms of Albeon and magic may never reign in Camolot.

Arthur can always change his mind about magic but he also has a point because Morgana has always used her magic for evil and if Arthur allowed Magic Morgana would shurly use that to her advantage more so than she already does.
