This is how I would like Arthur to learn of Merlin's magic: there is a confrontation between Arthur and Morgana and she attacks Arthur but Merlin, disguised as Old Merlin, arrives and blocks her attack. Merlin transforms back to a young man, revealing his magic to Arthur, who is extremely shocked. Morgana (who already knows that Merlin is Emrys) engages Merlin in a magical duel but realises that she cannot defeat Merlin and flees. Arthur then takes Merlin back to Camelot and later argues with him, accusing Merlin of betraying him by not telling him the truth while Merlin desperately tells him why he his his magic only for Arthur to banish him out of Camelot. Then in a two part story there is a common enemy which attacks both Camelot and Morgana and Arthur realises that he made a great mistake in banishing Merlin, finally realising why Merlin had to hide his magic from him. Merlin, meanwhile confronts Morgana and they reluctantly form an alliance with each other to defeat that enemy which is almost about to kill Arthur. Merlin and Morgana kill that enemy with their powers, saving Arthur but Morgana is conflicted and leaves Arthur and Merlin, unsure whether she wants to destroy Camelot or let go of her hate. Although he is surprised Morgana also saved him, Arthur is grateful and apologises to Merlin for banishing him while Merlin apologises for not telling Arthur the truth about his magic. Arthur finally agrees to return magic back to Camelot and the two part story ends with the Druids and other people who use magic for good all arriving in Camelot much to Merlin's happiness. In this version both Merlin and Morgana are involved.
