Arthur learns the meaning of "real magic" and finds himself worthy of his awesome duty.

"Schultz Miller's work is strikingly different from the movie... the biggest difference can be seen in Merlin. Instead of Disney's testy, bungling eccentric, Miller's Merlin is intense and cloaked in mystery. Miller's dialogue contains some beautiful and funny passages."
Corinne Flocken, The Los Angeles Times
