Who takes this?

Dormammu.

Fate, easily

I thought Dr.Fate begun his power increasing is after COIE, no?

He was nearly as powerful as Spectre pre COIE.

I've always thought that he was more powerful before COIE.

Fate.

Dormmy at his peak was multiversal

Haha, he wishes. He is multiversal on comicvine only.

Fates power varied widely Pre COIE.

lol

dormammu was said to display the power of omnipresence and omniscience upon absorbing eternity.
in early days he said so himself he can destroy the entire celestials race

with help of umar he was able to defeat multi eternity and later absorbed eternity's power. worlds within world, dimensions, entire universes were just fraction of eternity's power

Not really. Though there are varying factors in his power at different times pre crisis. He gave up his full helmet of Nabu in the early 40s because he felt it taking him over. He instead wore a half Helmet that only came down to the nose. Without the full helm he wasn't as powerful magically. He still had magic, couldn't TP, TK has class 100 strength, was invulnerable (but needed to breath- his weakness) and when he was in places of power like Stonehenge, his tower the valley of mur could work magic on the same level he could with the helm.

He recovered it before the first JLA/JSA cross over and was back to his full power for the entirety of the Silver Age.

In one story where he merged with his wife Inza ( Which apparently had always meant to be the why it was supposed to be but Nabu wanted to retain control) he was more powerful.

Basically with the helm he's on the same tier magically as Dr Strange but can call onnthe powers of other Lordsnof order who have taken the form of gods. Most common one he called on very frequently was Amon Ra

1. That as you said was with the help of his sister.
2. There was other context. Eternity not long before had split off pieces of himself so he could experience life as a mortal. This splitting weakened him drastically to the point it almost threatened the destruction of reality. Eternity had to call on the help of the Defenders to find and return these aspects. It was IIRC just after they had been reunited with him while he was still healing that Dormmamu and Umar drained him. He still wasn't back to full power/health

I always thought Fate surpassed Strange. His magicks are in par but his physicals eclipse him

Yeah, context doesn't matters, does it?

See I always saw Fate's magic as marginally below Strange. He also has matter and energy manip powers that bring him up to equal (like Strange does the same with spells). That is he can drain and use energy and alter matter without having to do spells, more like how SS or Cap atom do.

Yes he has physicals on par with say action comics 1 Superman (not how he was powered up months afterwards but the literal faster than a bullet stronger than a locomotive tag line), but aside from the fact he can physically take a lot more punishment without shields I don't see that as all that useful in a magic battle.

It's not that I see Fate's magical power below strange so much, it's more that the invocations he uses in spells are longer winded and more complex.

For example " Amon Ra you who are light shine in this thy servant so that I may expel the dark things with your light". Strange's spells just weren't as long winded.
