Dragonlors abilities are described as " Deep within yourself, you must find the voice that you and Kilgharrah share, for your soul and his are brothers. When you speak to him as kin, he must obey your will. ". Then it seriously differs from other forms of magic(which is emphasized by using different language). In fact, it is kinship, nature of his soul, something that just is, not a power or an ability. And when Merlin lost his magic he still remained a Dragonlord and will remain one, as long as he has his soul.

There is other interesting thing. Dragonlords were the only group described as noble kind and they were hunted because Uther considered their talent CLOSE to magic. Does it mean that only few of them had magic? Or, perhaps, only darker spells were truly considered magic and dragonlords, as noble kind didn't use such(you know, S2E13 clearly shows what would happen if dragonlord decided to abuse his power)? Maybe they had no much contact with other sorcerers(remember Balinor lived on his own in a cave, instead of joining some druid camp or something)?
