User blog comment:Adelina Le Morte March/I've got a strange new theory on Morgana so totally nuts even I think I'm insane for wondering if it's possible! (Also, my thoughts on The Dark Tower)/@comment-4892425-20121111220547

To suggest that Morgana has been enchanted all this time is to suggest Morgause has controlled her even from the grave to now. Include her imprisonment that's a four-year-long enchantment. Free will is powering Morgana now, blaming others for being disinherited from the throne (people who absolutely had no say in the matter). She uses the Great Purge as a convenient excuse to cause mayhem and murder in the House of Pendragon and Camelot at large. Morgana just plays head games and toys with emotions to get what she wants: she uses the persecutions to line up magical allies like Ruadan; she plays on the grief of rival-royals-turned-Camelot-allies in attempts to do her dirty work (Annis and Odin) and uses dark magic on people she can't corrupt (Merlin). She used psychological torture on Gwen, but Gwen stood up to her towards the end. So Morgana had to use a real event to make Gwen more emotionally vunerable and easier to turn by way of enchantment. In comes Elyan's death.

This all comes down to a power grab by Morgana and getting back at the father who never acknowlegded her, nothing more. For the two times Morgana took over Camelot she never reached out to the magical community to go forward. She was too busy abusing the knights, threatening the populace into submission, and plotting elaborate ways to torment and kill Arthur and Gwen. Her captivity has messed her up ever more mentally; her state of mind is showing more and more that she is unfit to rule, even if she were a legitimate heir. Emotional scars notwithstanding, Morgana is ultimately responsible for her actions. The Battle of Calmann is suppose to take place during this season. In Morgana's vision there are dead bodies all around and she's begging Emrys to help her (which Emrys says "is this what you want Morgana?)" Sounds like Morgana taps into some serious dark magic to take on her enemies and it boomerangs on her with a vengance. The battle could mean the end of Arthur and the dream of Albion dying (I hope not), but if this means Morgana gets her comeuppance - that the throne that was never hers is completely out of her reach- will be some satisfaction.
