In Le Morte d'Arthur, Merlin has his powers because he's the son of a devil. Here's a passage from the first chapter of Book IV:
"And so, soon after, the lady and Merlin departed, and by the way Merlin showed her many wonders, and came into Cornwall. And always Merlin lay about the lady to have her maidenhood, and she was ever passing weary of him, and fain would have been delivered of him, for she was afeard of him because he was a devil’s son, and she could not beskift him by no mean"
