It might be that fate intervened. It was Morrolan getting killed that 
led directly to Vlad and Aliera (both weilders of Great Weapons 
themselves, (Aliera already then, Vlad not till later) but both 
therefore tools of Fate on some level) chasing after the sorceress... 
Which led directly to Vlad for the first time unleashing raw amorphia. A 
skill that fate may decree one day he will need to use to some greater 
purpose.

So, perhaps the sorceress who killed Morrolan simply "got lucky" because 
Fate needed Morrolan to die at that time?
