Summary
Prompt (story diverges from this)
Arthur is being tested.A sorcerer makes a few dozen copies of Merlin.
Sorcerer: if you're really that good of a king, then you'll figure out who the real one is.
Arthur thinks it's easy. But all of these Merlin's seem to have a quirk of Merlin's intensified. It makes things difficult, because Merlin has days when he acts exactly like that.
Only one thing he knows for sure. It's definitely not the one who just defeated one of the other Merlin's with magic.
Excerpt:
Arthur reached for his sword, just in case. “What do you want me to do? Figure out which the real Merlin is?”“Exactly.” The mercenary’s eyes glinted with mischief and he suddenly looked much more like a threat. “These Merlin’s have been designed, based on YOUR thoughts about him,”
Arthur immediately flushed

Summary
Now, Arthur had grown up draped in finery. Given gold and silver and all manner of rare, shiny things meant to show his status. Arthur knew gold. He had seen it being poured by a blacksmith, gently bent into shape by a jeweller, and seen it descending onto his own head as a heavy promise. Arthur knew gold.
Merlin’s eyes weren’t gold.

Or Merlin finally unlocks his full power - he's pretty much magic incarnate after all

Summary
Every ten years or so a tournament is held between all the five kingdoms. In which one (strongest of the kingdom) sorcerer is chosen as a representative of their king/queen/crown bearer.
The monarchs, however, do not choose the sorcerer for themselves, which Arthur is thankful for, since magic is still banned in Camelot. Instead, they are chosen by the mirror of truth. It shows the face of the strongest sorcerer in said lands, so Arthur can reach out to them.When the mirror finally chooses the participants, Camelot's champion is......... well i mean, who is the strongest magic user in Camelot? Exactly!
It's Morgana.
After all, Merlin was born in Cendred's kingdom.

Summary
Merlin felt it rush past him, and then Arthur was on the ground, clawing at his throat as he gasped for air.
In the blink of an eye, Merlin’s magic tore through Sigan’s spell. Coughing, Arthur doubled over, only just catching himself on his hands, while Merlin wrestled his magic back under control.
Withstanding the urge to rush to Arthur’s side, Merlin glared at Sigan. “You will not harm him.”Ever since he defeated Nimueh, Merlin's magic is getting harder and harder to keep in check; especially when it comes to protecting Arthur. After his magic is revealed during Sigan's attack on Camelot, things are beyond tense between the two of them — and as the tension grows, Merlin's control is slipping.
