I don't think it will be temporary, Morgana and Mordred want Merlin to suffer. Why would they temporarily block his magic? If Morgana steals his powers - it would make her more powerful. And also if Merlin IS magic - it will also end up killing him eventually. I think it will be permanent - and Merlin will have to find a substitute to save his life. Lock Merlin in a cave - no magic on Arthur's side apart from a dying Kilgarrah, make another dragon sword - the ideal way to take down a kingdom.
