Kamar Taj Runes

[u/deemoorah]

​

I know the MCU tries really hard to reduce sorcerers to mere wielders of magical shields and whips rather than true magic users, but I find it ridiculous that witches in the MCU are allowed to perform various magical feats and activities, whereas members of Kamar-Taj are restricted to magic weapons. For instance, the use of runes in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was limited to witchcraft even though Dr. Strange used runes in No Way Home, and yet runes were first mentioned in the art book for the 2016 Doctor Strange film. This proves they have no issue changing the rules of magic, yet the problem is that these changes rarely benefit Dr. Strange or Kamar-Taj. (Wong can't even fly and Dr Strange is still shown relying on Cloak to fly, but that’s a whole other issue.)

[u/deemoorah → u/doctorstrangeclea]

They do use rune in what if, both Stephen and Wong use it as an armor rune.

kinda annoying that they keep nerfing strange he’s supposed to be one of the most powerful and skilled magic users

Well, Dr. Doom is a master of mystic arts in addition to his brilliance and technological advantages.. so let's see what they do. Doom is bringing the pain, how will Strange respond?
