But Merlin gets his powers back by trusting and believing in himself like the soul of Balinor tells him to do. He really gave him his own powers back, but wouldn't have been able to do so if Balinor's soul or spirit didn't encourage him not to give up, when it looked like he was giving up. It was one of the best written parts, that he didn't have to go find some cup or flower, or conjured beast to kill in order to get his magic back. No, he is magic, he is of the earth, and magic is woven into the earth. Merlin was born of magic, is, and always will be magic...and a Dragon Lord on top of i, the Last Dragon Lord....and for these reasons he is so much more powerful than Morgana can ever be! She had magic that came to her as an adult, that she honed with the help of Morgause. She is a priestess of the old religion, but she doesn't have the lineage that Merlin has. He must triumph over her in the end...fore Aithusa cannot refuse him. That doesn't mean that he can save Arthur, though given his great powers, he should be able heal even the worst wound made by a sword forged in a dragons' breath...I hope so anyway. I hav e hope for a move trilogy, and they can't do that if Arthur dies. Wouldn't it be awesome to have three full length movies to look forward to...and there would be so many new Merlin fans made if they dd do it. Oh, if I had the money I would back such a project!!
