Well, regarding Arthur and his trust in Merlin, there are such terms as "endless resetting" and "lack of charcter development".

Since the thread is about better way of returning magic to Albion and not about either Merlin's or Morgana's accomplishments. My opinions:

Merlin's way will be very productive if he succeds and will have no negative result's if he fails. While Morgana's will be pyrrhic victory at best:

It seems, that even if any kingdom, other than Camelot, doesn't have ban on magic, they are still not particulary fond of it. Magic has no much sympathisers and Uther isn't viewed as tyrant by anyone else. Morgana's actions will certainly not help here. Merlin on the other hand is also trying(at least nominally, but sice we presume that characters are resonable...) to create united Albion, that would be better place for everyone and will probably have quite enough fans and could change perception of magic for better.

Then there is a political aspect of situation - Uther has allies who actually should react on Morgana's actions if situatuion escalates. Even if she will conquer Camelot it would probably start a war with neighbouring kingdoms(and possibly a civil war with Camelot's people). Even without it, magic causing king's death would provoke changes outside Camelot, that I seriously doubt that any sorcerer would enjoy. Merlin, on the other hand, could benefit from Uthers alliances - making things better in one of kingdoms may influence others.
