Could it be possible that Merlin's magic could have been released when he had died?

The Dark One is possessed by an entity of Dark One magic. When Rumple's darkness was removed by the Apprentice, the Darkness was going around, sucking all the light.

Since Merlin's magic (Let's call it Light One magic for now) is the base magic for Dark One's magic, is the Light One magic still around?

Now, since Merlin is dead, would the Light One magic choose who becomes the Light One? When Merlin drank the Holy Grail, he was chosen to drink the cup.

I just like interpreting the magic to some sort of fictional science of some sort XD.
