If you got to watch the first part of the Diamond of the Day, you would see that you are correct, that Merlin could not permanently loose his magic. It is a beautiful scene, that I don't want to ruin for those who haven't seen it, but actually did post  spoiler on Balinors forum, so if you really want to know, look for my post there. Anyway, Part 1 will show us all how powerful Merlin is, and why he will be the most poweruful sorcerer of all time...He is not just a sorcerer born of magic, but is the Last Dragon Lord, and this is something that Morgana has no idea about. Even if he didn't get his powers back, he would still have ultimate control of Aithusa. Could you imagine Morgana's face when she would see Aithusa listening and following the commands of Merlin/Emyrs? It would be priceless.
