Well, did not know he had magic, ( "She grew up under the guidance of the True Magician Merlin"), is enough to satisfy me on the issue, though I'll.

As for him being still about, I was going to say the same thing before realising I couldn't (be bothered to) source the statement. It was a translation somewhere on BL, that I remember.

I think they went on to point out that since the ToH was outside of time, he could be a heroic spirit even if he wasn't dead, so long as he was going to die eventually. But I'm not sure how true that is.
