It depends on which version of this mythological story you read. Merlin was known in most versions to be a wizard, using his ability to perform magic to either help King Arthur into or out of given situations or by teaching King Arthur his wisdoms.

In one version, Merlin changed King Arthur into various animals so that King Arthur could experience what it was like to be that animal, and what that animal perceived physically. In another version, Merlin was not a wizard, but a chieftain (leader), of a Celtic culture who used his experiences and followers to guide King Arthur to the take over of Britain from Roman rule.

I assume he uses magic, but specifically he helped Arthur get Excalibur. When Arthur is wearing Excalibur's scabbard, he can't be harmed.
