Merlin failed? I don't think he did, I think the consistency of the story did. Originally the aim was to bring magic back, then it seemed to just be bringing peace to the land. Gwen was very confident in the sorcerer, and notice in Series 5 all executions only took place because the people caused others to die, were traitors and conspired with Morgana. Not just because they were magic. Also remember moments such as Valdis. I really think Gwen's reign is the lead up to allowing magic to return. But who knows... maybe all the sorcerers are dead by now. It's sad that we can never know and they leave it in a cliffhanger worse than Series 4 and now we make our own conclusions... :(
