Trivia
- Merlin is the only character in the entire series to be referred to as a warlock. Other male magicians have been addressed as sorcerers, Druids, and priests, but never as warlocks.
- It has been theorised that a warlock is born with magic while a sorcerer studies it, which would explain why Merlin is the only character addressed as one. Merlin is the only sorcerer in the series known to have been able to use magic instinctively from birth, and it has been stated that he is an anomaly in this regard (The Dragon's Call).
