I don't feel that Merlin losing his magic is a cliché, actually it makes things more interesting because Merlin has always been able to save the day with his magic. Merlin losing his magic evens things out because now Morgana might actually win. I'm hoping for a magical duel between Merlin and Morgana though, or at least some good dialogue where she confronts him on why he never told her when they were friends, or tried to help her. We need to see SOMETHING between them besides the little we've seen this season. There's always been a connection between Merlin and Morgana in past seasons because they were more on par with one another and the battle has always been between them, not so much Arthur and Morgana, in my opinion.
