Dan Slott just used a perfect example.
Bendis, in "Dissambeled," mocked about thirty years of the continuity of Marvel's magic characters by having Dr. Strange state, "There is no such thing as chaos magic."
In "Mighty Avengers 23," which features the revived Cthon, the elder-god states, "They ended my feast not with a spell or a pact but with a lie. They said 'there is no god of chaos, there is no chaos magic.' " Since much of the power of gods is "belief" powered (IE, derived by the power they can draw from those who believe in them), if the various sorcerers of earth decided to act like chaos magic didn't exist, and stop drawing upon it, then Chthon lost a lot of power. It explains: A). Why Dr. Strange would claim that chaos magic doesn't exist and B). Why he stopped using it.
Good job, Dan Slott!
That makes sense but it seems very out of character for Strange to ignore the possibility that Wanda was using magic as opposed to mutant powers and thus end up on the wrong route to helping her......
But hey, I'm looking into it far too much, it's a decent explanation
