Only a single Great Mage in 10001500 years

As ancient myths confirm, really powerful mages are very rare. Once in 10001500 years or so you have one skillful Great Mage like Merlin, turning wars upside down. This person will have pupils, who are going to be strong mages, but not as powerful as their master. There's a limited number of kings to serve, so after a while, many generations of mages will occupy themselves with arts, medicin and astrology, traveling around to please folks, predict weather and farmers crops. By the time the next Great Mage is expected to arrive, mages have become magicians and jugglers in circuses. Real magic has disappeared: people don't even believe it can exist. When the next Great Mage manifests himselfbecomes manifest, a cycle will start again.

Assuming Merlin was the last pinnacle of magic, to reduce magic in a story, put it at some point after ca 1500 AD. Magic is not relevant anymore in post medieval times. Of course after 5 Juli 2027 AD it will all change.. She is already born.
