So, Is Emma being twice as powerful and weilding two sides of the spectrum greater or on par with Merlin? I doubt it. If it would happen it would be through trickery, but also Merlin is seemingly immortal. It would be upsetting if he could indirectly create an immortal Dark puppet and not actually use his own magic to prevent his own death. Plus, he can see into the future, so.........

I doubt they would fight, or rather I hope they don't (mostly because it will literally be a magic fight that is 5 seconds long).

Interesting that the Apprentice was Dark Magic using the wand that was forged as both. Maybe Merlin has both sides as well, or is like a predecessor of Emma (not related, but another/ previous Savior).
