I think the Writer is a seer or has extremely strong magic, stronger than Rumples. This magic seems so far unreversable and can't be changed.

Balthazar Blake is a good guess BUT who was his master? Merlin! Also, The Sorcerer's Apprentice Movie is not a very well known movie and not a fairytale/folk tale/ or legend.

I'm still going for Walt Disney or Merlin. We haven't seen Merlin yet and we know Camelot exists. It also can introduce another villian, Morgan Le Fay.

Well while the movie may not be "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" story actually predates the majority of the clasisc fairy tales represented on this show at least to the point historians track most of them.

Making the Sorcerer a even more powerful character than most of what we've seen is more interesting with that respect, as he's much older and with that he may be much wiser.

I'm not sure if the Sorcerer is the writer of the book, or if the book itself isn't just a magic construct. But I had hoped the show by end would do something like a "our stories are real in another world" multiverse kind of thing, but so far a bunch of things kind of muck that theory up. Unless they plan on fixing those holes, i assume they're not going to touch it that way
