Amulet of Agamotto* Doc's first, original amulet, given to him by the Ancient One. It is the predecessor to the Eye of Agamotto.
* First appearance: ST #110 (Doc's first appearance). Referred to as Amulet of Agamotto in DSSS #56.
* Doc was awarded the Eye of Agamotto by the Ancient One after defeating Dormammu in ST #127.
* After awarding Doc the Eye, the Ancient One gave the first Amulet back to Agamotto [DSSS #32].
* Silver Dagger stole the Amulet (or "early-model Eye"😉 from Agamotto (or more accurately, Agamotto let him take it) and used it in his empty left eye socket for a time [DSSS #32].
* Doc eventually awarded this Amulet to his apprentice Rintrah [DSSS Annual #2].
* The Amulet's powers are virtually identical to the Eye's. See the Eye of Agamotto.
Astral Form
* Doc is able to enter a trance (rather quickly) and leave his physical body for a ghostly astral form. The astral form has no physical substance, can pass through walls, and is invisible to the non-mystical (except for the Hulk). The physical body is stationary and helpless during this time. There is no connection to the physical body- if it is moved without the mystic's knowledge while away in astral form, the mystic must search for it [ST #121]. If the astral form does not return to the body within 24 hours, the body dies and the mystic is helplessly trapped in astral form until it slowly dissipates [ST #121]. A mystic is weaker in raw power in his astral form than he is in his physical body.
* First appearance: ST #110.
* Intense atomic energy, like at the core of a star, "can bring about a chemical change which could prove fatal to a spirit form" [ST #134].
* The astral form can be used to take possession of another body [DS #80].
Bolts of Balthakk
* Standard energy blast [DS #32].
* Apparently used to break up a large melee by teleporting each group to opposite sides of a room (spelled Balthaak here) [Def V2 #8].
Bolts of Bedevilment
* Standard energy blast.
Book of the Vishanti
* First appearance: ST #116. "I possess the only known copy of the Book of the Vishanti! Every counter-spell known to the mystic arts is inscribed within these time-worn pages!"
* Can be enlarged to envelop a target, sending them into "the endless dimensions of the Vishanti" and "the hidden landscapes of your mind" [DS #33].
Clamp of Containment
* Summons and shapes rock from the ground beneath a target, trapping the lower body and hands at the waist. The target is unable to cast spells. Used on Doc by Cyrus Black [DS #34].
Cloak of Levitation
* Red with yellow trim and distinctive cowl, the Cloak allows Doc to fly with little effort or drain to his personal mystic energies.
* Doc can mentally command, move and control the Cloak. He has used it to envelop enemies.
Crimson Bands of Cytorrak
* Large red glowing ribbons usually used to wrap and capture or imprison a target.
* Can be sent out en masse to search for a specific target. Dormammu looked for Doc this way [DSSS #1].
* In What If? V2 #52, What If Dr. Doom Became Sorcerer Supreme?, Dormammu used the Crimson Bands to seal the Baxter Building.
* Can be used for feats of strength. Doc used them to break out of a Clamp of Containment [DS #34].
* The Bands can be used to lasso someone out of a crowd [X-Men Annual #4].
* The Bands have also appeared as a large imprisoning crystal that shrinks [ST #128].
Crimson Crystals of Cytorrak
* Summons what appear to be small rubies that are used as an energy blast [MP #5].
* Doc used them to imprison, shrink and cast away a Vipers of Valtorr spell cast against him [DS #34].
Darkhold, The
* A powerful book, of parchments written by the Chthon, Elder God of Chaos, containing his arcance and demonic secrets, collected and bound by the evil sorceress Morgan Le Fey [DSSS #11].
Demons of Denak
* Summons what mainfests as numerous invisible claws, used for attack or to rip suitable objects apart [I forget?].
* A common Doc exclamation.
Dreamwalking
* Doc can enter the dreams of others [ST #110].
* Doc: "My first lessons were in dreamwalking..." [ASM V2 #47].
Eye of Agamotto
* Dr. Strange's most powerful and precious item. Very similar to its predecessor the Amulet of Agamotto.
* The Ancient One can activate the Amulet's powers remotely [ST #110].
* The Amulet/Eye can send out a hypnotic, immobilizing ray of blinding light [ST #110].
* The powers of the Amulet/Eye are available to Doctor Strange while he is astral form. An astral form of the Amulet/Eye travels with Doc's astral form. The Amulet/Eye's physical form remains with Doc's physical body, and that can also be activated by Doc while in astral form. This seems to make the Amulet/Eye an incredibly powerful and useful item. No other item has been shown to do this [ST #110].
* It can be used to communicate with others and transmit thoughts over long distances [ST #110].
* Doc uses it on several occasions to transmit strength/health to the Ancient One [ST #111].
* Its light can be used to detect normally-invisible mystical auras, effects, etc. [ST #116].
* Its light can dissolve illusions. "Nothing evil can bask in its glow for long!" [ST #116].
* It can be used to completely read another's mind [ST #118].
* It can unlock door bolts ("no mere man-made lock can resist the power of my enchanted amulet"😉 [ST #120].
* It can play back recent past events in an area (because "light waves never completely disappear"😉 [ST #121].
Flames of the Faltine
* Standard energy blast. The Flames are usually green.
* Used to melt the Icy Tendrils of Ikthalon [DS #33].
Flames of Regency
* The flames around Dormammu's head have been explained as a kind of fiery crown signifying the leader of the Dark Dimension. When Clea was leader of the Dark Dimension, she was shown with flames behind her head (but her head wasn't engulfed in the fire as Dormammu's was). However, other Faltinians who had nothing to do with control of the Dark Dimension have been shown to look like little Dormammus with flaming heads.
* While Clea was leader of the Dark Dimension, she said that the flames of regency whispered tyrannical, urge-for-power type thoughts to her that she had to resist [Marvel Comics Presents #20].
Flight
* See Cloak of Levitation, Levitation.
Fungol Thopa
* "The Curses and Fiends of Fungol Thopa." Used by Sligguth against Dr. Strange with the incantation "K'Thaka Fungoi!" Manifests a foul fungus on the target which drains life from the pores [MP #5].
Hypnotism
* Doctor Strange possesses the standard ability to powerfully and instantly hypnotize others, plant suggestions, forget their past or that they ever met Doc, etc.
Icy Tendrils of Ikthalon
* Entraps the target in a freezing coating of ice [DS #33].
Images of Ikonn
* Doc freaks out Galactus(!) with this spell: "I reached into the darkest corners of his mind to confront Galactus with the ghosts of all he has slain." [Fantastic Four #243]
Levitation
* Doc often levitates in place lightly off the ground while he is meditating or studying. I assume he is able to fly outright, but that it is a drain on his mystical resources. The Cloak of Levitation solves that issue.
Martial Arts
* Doc's mystical training with the Ancient One included full martial arts training. He has no problem letting the occasional karate chop fly.
* Doc has dodged a kung fu chop by Mantis, something "only three others have ever done" [Defenders V1 #9].
Mist of Hoggoth- see Spell of Hoggoth
Mists of Morpheus
* Standard sleep spell [Def V2 #8].
Mists of Munnopor
* Summons a bluish gas which covers the face of the opponent and suffocates him [DS #34].
Multiple Body Illusion
* Several illusions of Doctor Strange surge forth; enemies don't know which is the real one, if any of them are.
* In what appears to be a huge power boost to this ability, Doc can give each illusory figure the power to hypnotize people [ST #131].
* Appearances: ST #123 (first, against Loki), ST #130-131, DS #70.
Orb of Agamotto
* Doctor Strange's "crystal ball."
* Originally portrayed as a globe of the Earth- the work of evil mystical forces appeared as dark spots, revealing their location on Earth and their intensity to Doc.
Purple Gem
* The gem provides a means to enter (or become trapped in) the Purple Dimension led by the slaver Aggamon [ST #119] [DS #56].
* Used to amplify and focus the Eye of Agamotto's power; the incantation included "Heightened by Aggamon's distant might" [DS #33].
* Used to entrap an opponent; the target appeared to be more like eaten by the gem itself rather than transported to the Purple Dimension [DS #33].
Rains of Raggadorr
* Summons a small thunderstorm. The Rains washed away Fungol Thopa, while accompanying lightning struck at multiple evil targets [MP #5].
Ring, Unnamed ("Astral Form Power"😉
* The Ancient One gave Doc a ring which allows him to do everything in astral form that he can in real-life form [ST #117].
Rings of Raggadorr
Sanctum Sanctorum
Screaming Idol
* An ancient idol of Tiboro, leader of the Sixth Dimension. The object allows Tiboro to influence and capture people on Earth, and provides travel between Earth and the Sixth Dimension.
