Yes, it would bave been nice if Merlin had told her and she actually trusted him enough to follow his way of using magic to help others. But, remember there have been other influences on Morgana that turned her to the dard side. Morgause and Alvar engaged her in their plots to do away with Uther, and Arthur. There is no guarantee that Morgana would have been strong enough to turn away from her sister, Morgause. If she did know about Merlin's magic, and shared that info with Morgause, I hate to think of what might have become of Merlin. She could simply tell Uther. Uther would never have believed Merlin over Morgana. Morgana and Morgause might have blackmailed Merlin. I think that is why Giaus and Kligharrah warn Merlin against sharing his secret with Morgana. Kligharrah knew the prophecy about Morgana's threat to Alboin, and Arthur. The great Dragon had been very clear about how dangerous Morgana would be to Camelot and Arthur. I guess I am not sure that Merlin sharing his secret would have changed the outcome. But it is nice to imagine a good Morgana.
