Which character in Practical Magic 2 was formerly Ian Wright’s apprentice?

Tom Lockland was formerly Ian Wright’s apprentice in Practical Magic 2. The film reveals this connection while Sally, Gillian, and Ian investigate Tom’s activities in England.

Tom initially appears under the name Tom Bailey when Kylie meets him in Thornfield. He encourages her search for a way to save Gideon, but later evidence at his house shows that he has attempted to practice dark magic and was once Ian’s apprentice.

Tom’s motives are tied to his family history. He is descended from Hannah Owens’s second child, who was born to Lord Lockland and was cut off from magic. Tom spends his life trying to gain magical power, eventually attempting to steal Kylie’s abilities.

His past with Ian also explains how Tom can manipulate magical knowledge and use the stolen Rauðskinna Grimoire. Tom curses Ian and uses the grimoire to lure Kylie and the Book of Raven to Thornfield, making him the story’s central magical antagonist.
