I have a theory about Merlin’s immortality. I think that Merlin quite literally can’t die or at least it doesn’t last. Mortal weapons can hurt him and even kill him, it just doesn’t last. The biggest evidence I have for this is when Merlin drank from the poisoned chalice. By the time they got the cure to him it was too late and his heart had stopped. He had died and that should have been it. But in a couple seconds he was alive again. I think his magic brought him back. In the crystal cave Merlin is told that he doesn’t simply have magic but that he is magic. Magic can’t simply be destroyed and neither can Merlin.
