Abigail Williams is a supporting antagonist in the 2010 Disney fantasy adventure movie The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
She is a legendary abominable witch and one of the Morganians (conjurers named after Morgana le Fay), cruel sorcerers skilled in black magic just like the infamous dark sorceress Morgana le Fay herself. She too seeks to release Morgana from her centuries-old imprisonment and begin The Rising, thus bringing about a new world of ruling sorcerers.
Abigail Williams was born in the year 1680 and was responsible for putting the colonial Massachusetts village of Salem on the map during the Salem trials of 1692. The Salem witch trials that brought such turmoil occurred because of the erratic behavior of Abigail, her cousin Elizabeth "Betty" Paris, and their friends, Ann Putnam Jr. and Elizabeth Hubbard, for which there was no psychological nor medical explanation. The girls began accusing people of witchcraft. By the time when the trials were ended in 1693, 142 people had been accused of witchcraft. 19 of those people were hanged, and one was pressed to death.
13-year-old Abigail herself hides a dark secret: she has mastered magical gifts, including the ability to shapeshift, as well as the ability to teleport.
Her crime against humanity was severe, and caught the attention of the mighty Merlinean wizard Balthazar Blake, who immediately sealed her inside the Grimhold so she could do no more harm. However, the opening movie shows that she was also sealed due to her own attempts to free Morgana, suggested that at one point she met and join forces with a former Merlinean, a sorcerer named Maxim Horvath.
The Return of Abigail[]
When Horvath uses the Parasite Spell to steal Drake Stone's energy and takes his magic ring, he releases Abigail Williams into the modern day world and recruited her to kidnap Becky Barnes.
Abigail went to Becky Barnes in her disguise as a Goth girl with tied long hair and a leather jacket. Becky told her to come back later after she asked to make a request, but to her surprise, Abigail appeared instantly in front of her and revealed herself to her as a 17th century witch in a traditional Pilgrim dress with a coif before she was kidnapped.
Once Abigail completes that task, Horvath steals her energy and her dark pentagram amulet, no longer needing her. Her black pentagram pendant then becomes one of the rings later placed into Horvath's cane with the enough energy to break the final shell of the Grimhold and freeing Morgana. Meanwhile, she laid dead, drained of her energy after Horvath stole it from her.
Abigail Williams is a powerful and most dangerous witch with dark powers, including the ability to change appearances to fool her victims and foes, and to disappear and reappear. Although Abigail is extremely skilled in witchcraft to cast such dangerous enchantments at her disposal, her powers are increased by her own magic pendant which they came from, almost like most sorcerers get their powers from their magic rings. Abigail Williams' Necklace, which is shaped like a star with a circle around it, is one of the magical items in the world. This shape within the Necklace is a pentagram, a common magical symbol. In the movie, it is the symbol of the Morganians when without the circle, as well as the symbol of the magical seal within the terrifying ceremony known as the Rising. Horvath uses the Parasite Spell on her, he takes her necklace and placed on his staff.
Notable spells that she mastered are:
Disguise Spell: The magical enchantment to shapeshift one's appearance and outfit to take form of a disguise. She used it to take form of goth-girl named Abby.
Teleportation: Abigail can teleport from one place to another.
Videogame Appearance[]
Abigail Williams as seen in the videogame The Sorcerer's Apprentice on Nintendo DS.
The dangerous witch Abigail Williams emerged as both the mistress of the Love Domain magic in New York City's Broadway District and the fourth boss of the Nintendo DS videogame adaptation of Disney's The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Upon entering the center of the Love domain, Balthazar Blake was aware that there was only one more prisoner left in the Grimhold who was far worse than the sorcerous thug Marrok. Dave believes that they were dealing with a monstrous-looking Morganian, but instead, they faced Abigail Williams, the 12-year old mistress of the Love domain. Abigail asked him whether he loved anyone. Either due to being nervous or meant to bluff, Dave claimed that he loves his roommate's pet dog. The cruel witch then states that what she likes about love is how fragile it is, which made Dave believing that she had misfortune "in prom night". Balthazar sarcastically commented that she once enrolled in Salem High School at the class of 1692, with Dave, not knowing that Balthazar actually meant that she was responsible for the notorious Salem Witch Trials, commented that she was so petty about love before the battle commenced. Defeated, Abigail feels broken-hearted when Horvath showed up. She thought Horvath had come to save her, only for the Morganian master to kill her with the accursed Parasite spell and took her catalyst before he left. This time however, Horvath cloaked the Grimhold’s energy signature from Balthazar’s sensor magic thanks to his increased powers, which made the wise Merlinean sorcerer unable to track him. To Dave’s delight, Balthazar managed to locate Horvath’s current location at the Uptown area of the Broadway district, right at the Deco building. Mana (magic energy of the world) from the Time-Space domain also flooded the area as well.
Abigail Williams is named after and based on the young woman of the same name who is one of the initial accusers during the Salem witch trials of 1692.
Abigail Williams' Necklace is silver and it has a long metal chain. In the movie, the Necklace itself is shown to be colored black on a dark red thread.
In the film's original script, it was explained that Horvath learned of Dave's feelings for Becky through the former's emotional trace that he picked up via magic and subsequently passed that information to Abigail.
In the movie's original script, additionally, rather than having her magic fatally drained of her, Abigail Williams joined the final battle against the Merlineans in which she demonstrated magical ability to breathe swarms of bats and/or wasps.
Lastly, the script revealed her alias as "Abbie" as a hint to her true identity.
Based on her modern-day disguise outfit, it could be that Abigail was masquerading as a school girl or a goth girl.
