@Morganaforever - I would have loved to have seen or read about this as dialogue in the Merlin/Uther confrontation in the magical reveal:

Uther: " You have magic".

Merlin: " I was born with it. And guess what? Morgana, your outside daughter? She has magic too. Sit back and drink in the irony of that Uther...you, the king who ordered the Great Purge of magic from Camelot, cuckolded your friend [and probably your queen] by swiving his wife and as a result...fathered a witch!!! You're the laughingstock of the Five Kingdoms for that alone! The only one of your children that is carrying on your legacy of ruling through intimidation, extermination and assassination (by way of magic) is the one you refused to acknowlegde and name as an heir. The one child who is the reason why you are now a resident of the spirit world, and she used magic to pay your passage". If you thought Uther's breakdown was bad when Morgana first overthrew Camelot, imagine what Spirit Uther would have done he heard all that? It would have "killed" him.
