I just think his most powerful displays are his magical creations and spells. None of his magical abilities have stood out to me( Neither has the dark one so that's not worth much).

I think he might be the only one capable of doing the things he does. I mean he has been practicing and learning for around 800 years. He possibly knows things about that the other sorcerers couldn't imagine.

I think him and the DO are on par with each other, but Merlin's knowledge and experience of magic takes him to a whole nother level. Yeah, she wasn't strong enough. (If we get rid of light and Dark magic because none of that actually makes sense now knowing what we know)

Seeing that the Merlin wand (The Apprentice's wand that allows him to use Merlin's magic) does powerful things and well as the hat trapping magical creatures and a reality warping quill, I think he's very powerful. But I am saying that the DO has never done anything on par with that, unless they actually made the Dark Curse.
