Fate only has one magical artifact: his helmet. Strange has:

The main source of Dr. Fate's powers rests within the Helm of Nabu. Imbued with the power of the former Lord of Order, the Helm provides both raw mystical power and skill. Unlike former incarnations of Dr. Fate, the spirit of Nabu does not take control over the host body when Hector puts on the Helm, being limited to incessant whispering which he cannot block out. The Helm is virtually indestructible, being easily capable of resisting an attack by Superman, although the same cannot be said for it's wearer!

Perhaps the most powerful of all of the mystic artifacts that make their home in the Tower of Fate, the Orb is the quintessential crystal ball. The Orb has the ability to see through the timestream - past, present and future are as clear as day to the vision granted by the Orb. Even dimensional boundaries pose no difficulty to the scrying power of the Orb, and it has on occasion granted warnings of threats from outside of our own Universe.

quote:

The Amulet of Anubis contains a portion of the mystical power attributed to Dr. Fate, although it is only marginal compared to the Helm. The most important ability connected to the Amulet is the fact that it contains it's own pocket dimension, an entire universe fit into it's disk-like shape. Currently, the pocket dimension is the 'retirement home' for the spirits of Kent and Inza Nelson, and is also the prison for Mordru although how long he will remain trapped there is a serious question. The Amulet appears to be the only way to enter this dimension, making Dr. Fate the sole gatekeeper for any who live within.

The third of the main Artifacts of Nabu is difficult to miss. The golden Cloak of Destiny is huge in comparison to most hero's capes, being at least three times longer than his height and apparently able to grow even larger at will. The Cloak seems to flow with a mind of it's own or perhaps in reaction to Hector's subconscious, as it never interferes with his movements and can often be seen to be moving contrary to any existing winds. The latter option is perhaps more likely, as Hector has caused the Cloak to act according to his will, for example forming a chair-like shape to allow Lian Harper to see over the heads of a crowd of adults. The Cloak can also be used for defensive purposes, as it appears to be as difficult to damage as the Helm as opposed to the rest of Hector's costume.

Dr. Strange has defeated Dracula, Mephisto (Satan), Thor, Baron Mordo, Nightmare, Dormammu, Silver Dagger, Dracula, Umar, Kaluu, and Sise-Neg. All of them are more powerful than Spectre, except for Dracula, Baron Mordo, and Silver Dagger.

The power granted Hal Jordan by The Presence to act as an aspect of His will is the most potent force in the universe. In The Presence, all things are possible...and that very concept works for the Spectre as well. Hal can literally manipulate reality as he needs to, to achieve his ends. This is limited only by his unfamiliarity with the power, having only been the Spectre for a short time, and his own imagination. Thus far, he has tended to use this great reserve of magical power much as he did the emerald energies of the Green Lantern power ring. especially under stress. He has used it to shape magical energy constructs, launch concussive blasts, change his appearance and fly. But other more traditional Spectre powers have also been witnessed, such as the ability to understand and converse in any language, human or alien, and the ability to grow to gigantic proportions. With more practice and additional time to become familiar with the Spectre Force, there is little limit to what Jordan will be able to do, so long as it serves The Presence. Hal may also limit himself by refusing to use the more Wrathful portions of the Spectre's power, instead making do with the Redemptive elements
