This is one of the easiest trials in terms of the solution but finishing some of them can be tricky. Use your wizard sense to locate nearby stone pillars that have the stone orbs on the top. They will light up blue. This is much easier if you have the upgrade to your wizard sense so it can scan further away. Once you have them on your screen, all you need to do is attack them with your basic attacks. This will destroy the orb on the top.

Once you have destroyed the orb atop each of the pillars, the Merlin Trial will complete and you will have solved the puzzle.
