User blog comment:Broman178/Should there be more Magical duels?/@comment-4879894-20120228190827

I'm not a fan of magical duels, because, usually, we don't understand what is really happened. Why Merlin is capable of killing Nimueh and not Nimueh Merlin ? Why Gaius is able to kill Morgause and not Morgause Merlin ? You can carry on the list as you wish. I prefer, by far, a duel with swords ; it's more convincing, more plausible, more aesthetic. I love magical shows, I love fantasy, in one condition, making a careful and economic use of magical resources. To keep the show in shape. For example, I love when the Merlin failed healing Arthur, I love to see this powerful warlock so vulnerable, so human. So I don't look forward magical duels. Nevertherless, I agree with you, I fed up with the throwing style, that became boring.
