Well, so far what I've deduced is that magic in the MCU seems to universally be the ability to draw power from other dimensions and weave it into spells. It's technically energy manipulation all things considered (in my view). In that first Strange movie it was explained that sorcerers draw energy from other dimensions to make weapons, shields, portals etc. That's okay. If the Ancient One acquired energy from the Dark Dimension to make weapons, shields, portals etc is that okay? Or is it only bad if she did it to prolong her life? Kaecilius was mad at the Ancient One for prolonging her life by drawing power from the Dark Dimension, but then he sorta did the same thing afterwards after he drew power from it himself. Does that mean the Dark Dimension's energy has some sort of corrupting influence? Because Dormammu runs the joint and is a bad dude? And are the dimensions in Strange 2 akin to parallel universes? Or are the dimensions WITHIN the main timeline/universe? The Ancient One CLEARLY stated in Strange 1 that the slings could clearly travel throughout the multiverse. So why would America Chavez's powers be any different than theirs (or does that depend on the definition of "multiverse"). Since the MCU's diving into this multiversal craziness, I have to ask this question. Do sorcerers in the MCU, when casting more powerful spells, require special items like the Eye of Agamotto, to take the burden off of the casters (because casting spells "hurts" the casters)? And finally, since Clea is from the Dark Dimension, are her magical powers innate? Does that mean she was corrupted from birth due to the "evil energy" of the Dark Dimension? Because sorcerers like the Ancient One, Strange, Wong and Mordo have no natural magic within them, they have to get it elsewhere. Does Clea draw magic from other dimensions as well being born with it? I know that's a TON of questions, but I wanna know more about how magic works in the MCU and the Marvel Comics.
