If any of y'all have any doubt about her abilities and feats etc, i made a Respect Thread if you want see more feats it's on my signature
It does chaotic things. Which is why, say, Wanda's early hexes were unpredictable -- what she thought of as a "hex" was more like a "chaos grenade."
If she'd been using magic that was about something else -- force or fire or love or whatever -- her hexes would have had significantly different effects.

Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”
I think asking how chaos magic is different from regular old magic is like asking how habanero peppers are different from food.
There is no generic magic, it's a catch-all category that covers all kinds of magic, just as "food" covers all kids of food.
But just as different foods have different flavors and effects, different kinds of magic do too. There's lots of kinds of magic, which is why it's not easy to master it all. When Dr. Strange calls on the power of the Seraphim, he's calling on a different kind of power than when he casts the crimson bands of Cyttorak, or the flames of the Faltine. It's all different stuff.
If you want to make a love potion, you probably don't want to make it with chaos magic, just as if you want to make ice cream, you don't use ground beef.

A lot of the "special thanks" credits are very random. They added Jim Shooter last week and no one knows exactly what story they're crediting him for.
Unfortunately the origin of "chaos magic" is unfamiliar enough that I haven't seen any news source writing about that particular issue, so it's quite possible that the people making the credits don't even know where it's from. But it's a safe bet that someone on the creative team has read that issue.

Genuine question ... for what specifically? I know what folks like Bendis, Byrne (who only got recognized in episode 8, I assume for whiteVision), and Englehart did that is reflected in the show. What specific ideas did they pull from Busiek and Perez?
Wanda's old Hex Power was confusing for some writers, so I get why they gave her regular old magic but I like her more with Hex Power than ordinary magic powers. Felt more interesting and unique. Of course, I'm also glad that Illyanna stayed as a sword-wielding teleporter and not Bendis' Dr. Strange trained sorceress.
