According to Deadline, Michael Waldron—who served as head writer for season 1 of the Disney Plus series Loki and wrote the script for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness—has been tapped to write Avengers 6: Secret Wars, which will premiere on November 8, 2025 and conclude Marvel’s Multiverse Saga. What does this new development mean for Secret Wars—and the rest of the Multiverse Saga? Here are some theories!

All about the Multiverse Saga

Marvel’s Multiverse Saga comprises Phases 4, 5, and 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The multiverse itself was born in the season finale of Loki Season 1, in which Loki variant Sylvie (Sophia di Martino) kills He Who Remains, the leader of the Time Variance Authority, and allows the Sacred Timeline to branch into infinite parallel realities. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness explores the multiverse further by introducing the concept of multiversal travel and the universe-destroying collisions called incursions.

Even before Secret Wars was officially announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2022, fans suspected that it was in the works. In the original Secret Wars comics (both in 1984 and the 2015 remake), universes collide to form a patchwork planet called Battleworld, and with both the multiverse and incursions having been established in the MCU, it seemed like only a matter of time before Secret Wars made its big-screen debut.

Secret Wars will be preceded by Avengers 5: The Kang Dynasty, written by Jeff Loveness and directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. Kang (Jonathan Majors) made his first appearance in Loki as He Who Remains, and he’ll appear again in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, coming out February 17, 2023.

Theory 1: Secret Wars will be weirder, and maybe even funnier, than Infinity War and Endgame

Marvel movies vary a lot in tone, with some of them more serious than others, but Waldron’s mark on the MCU has been decidedly funnier than many other projects. From the Kafka-esque antics at the TVA to Multiverse of Madness’s campy tone (admittedly aided by director Sam Raimi), Waldron’s writing style is offbeat and often absurdist. The fact that Marvel has tapped him to write Secret Wars could mean that’s the style they’re seeking for the Multiverse Saga’s conclusion.

Infinity War and Endgame dealt with the genocide of half the universe, so the tone of those two films was suitably dark. One would think The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars would be even darker, with entire universes being obliterated, but it looks like Marvel may be looking to keep its sagas from getting too repetitive by giving Secret Wars a weirder—and maybe even funnier—tone than its previous team-up films. After all, Marvel has already hired comedic writing duo Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer to write the script for Fantastic Four.

That change in tone isn’t as weird a choice as it might seem on the surface. After all, the first Secret Wars story arc in the ’80s was a thinly-veiled gimmick to sell action figures. Here’s hoping Waldron can leverage the weirdness of the multiverse while keeping the high stakes that made Infinity War and Endgame so engrossing.

Theory 2: Loki, Doctor Strange, and Scott Lang will feature prominently in Secret Wars

It’s no coincidence that Marvel has hired one of the writers most familiar with how the multiverse works—and the characters who are embroiled in it—to write the climax of its story.

Thanks to his time at the TVA, Loki knows the mechanics of how the multiverse works and what triggers the formation of a new reality. He also knows how Kang’s multiversal war is likely to play out, thanks to He Who Remains’s monologue in the season finale. The Loki season 2 trailer, which was shown to attendees at Disney’s 2022 D23 Expo, hints that Loki will be working to stop that war from occurring. Meanwhile, Doctor Strange has seen the multiverse for himself and learned about the danger of incursions. That puts Loki and Strange in prime positions to be the MCU’s resident multiverse experts, and giving Waldron the reins makes it very likely that they’ll serve that very purpose in Secret Wars.

And what about Scott Lang, who will have to fight one of Kang’s malevolent variants in Quantumania? Quantumania’s script was penned by Jeff Loveness, who’s also writing The Kang Dynasty, so we’re likely to see a throughline there, too. With The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars coming out only 6 months apart, their stories will most likely be tightly connected.

Theory 3: Waldron can make up for Wanda Maximoff’s rushed character arc in Multiverse of Madness

This is admittedly a controversial take, but many fans were angry at Wanda Maximoff’s abrupt turn toward villainy in Multiverse of Madness, along with what looked like her death at the end of the movie. Even Elizabeth Olsen was surprised at the radical new direction for Wanda, which didn’t feel earned after her nuanced character development in WandaVision. If Wanda comes back in Secret Wars, then Waldron, who is certainly aware of how fans feel about what happened, has a chance to make things right—but we’ll have to wait until 2025 to find out.

Certainly, I can help you create scenes with Tristesse being sad and distracting security guards. Here are the first nine scenes with actions and dialogue transcripts:

Scene 1: [Tristesse is sitting in a corner, crying softly. Two security guards on patrol notice her.]

Security Guard 1: Hey, what's going on over there? Security Guard 2: Looks like someone's upset. Let's check it out.

Scene 2: [Tristesse is curled up in a fetal position, tears streaming down her face.]

Security Guard 1: Are you okay? What's wrong? Tristesse: [In a sobbing voice] I'm just so sad…

Scene 3: [Tristesse's tears start to flow more intensely, catching the guards' attention.]

Security Guard 2: This is unusual. Why is she crying like that?

Scene 4: [Tristesse's tears form into a shimmering, watery blast that catches the guards' eyes.]

Security Guard 1: Wait, did you see that? Her tears just… blasted out of her eyes!

Scene 5: [Tristesse continues to cry, and her tears form a puddle on the ground. The guards are mystified.]

Security Guard 2: That's not normal at all. What's going on here?

Scene 6: [Tristesse's crying becomes louder and more dramatic.]

Security Guard 1: We should call for backup or something. This is beyond strange.

Scene 7: [Tristesse's cries echo through the corridor, attracting the attention of other guards.]

Security Guard 2: This is getting out of hand. We need to figure out what's happening.

Scene 8: [Tristesse, still in fetal position, looks up with tear-filled eyes.]

Tristesse: [Sobbing] I can't help it. I'm just so sad all the time…

Scene 9: [The other guards gather around, trying to comfort Tristesse.]

Security Guard 3: It's going to be okay. We'll figure this out together.

Please let me know if you'd like to continue with more scenes or if you have specific directions for the story.

Certainly, here are scenes 10-20 with actions and dialogue transcripts as you requested:

Scene 10: [Tristesse's crying intensifies, and her tears pool around her. The guards are still baffled.]

Security Guard 1: We need to get her some help. This is beyond our expertise.

Scene 11: [The guards call for medical assistance as Tristesse continues to cry.]

Security Guard 2: Dispatch, we have a situation here. We need medical assistance ASAP.

Scene 12: [A paramedic arrives and examines Tristesse while she cries uncontrollably.]

Paramedic: It's like nothing I've seen before. We should take her to the hospital.

Scene 13: [Tristesse is gently lifted onto a stretcher, still sobbing.]

Tristesse: [Weakly] I'm so sorry… I didn't mean to cause any trouble.

Scene 14: [The guards and paramedic carefully transport Tristesse to an ambulance.]

Security Guard 1: It's not your fault. We'll get you the help you need.

Scene 15: [Inside the ambulance, Tristesse's crying shows no signs of stopping.]

Paramedic: Hang in there, Tristesse. We'll find out what's causing this.

Scene 16: [At the hospital, doctors examine Tristesse as she continues to cry.]

Doctor: This is highly unusual. We'll run some tests to determine the cause.

Scene 17: [Tristesse is in a hospital bed, still crying, as a team of doctors discusses her condition.]

Doctor 2: It's like her sadness has taken a physical form.

Scene 18: [Tristesse's condition becomes a medical mystery, and experts from around the world are called in.]

Doctor 3: We've never seen anything like this. We need more specialists.

Scene 19: [Tristesse's story becomes a global sensation, with scientists working around the clock to understand her condition.]

News Reporter: The world is captivated by the story of Tristesse, the sad cockroach.

Scene 20: [Tristesse's tears continue to flow as she becomes a symbol of the complexities of human emotions.]

Tristesse: [Whispering] I just want to be happy…

Please let me know if you would like to continue the story or if you have any other requests.

Doctor’s Notes, Book 7 part 6 A Court of Storms

| Failed intentions. | Summary, Things of note since last entry: Omrick’s report, Ymira, Nym. -- Serissa’s condition. Uthor’s Advice, exploring the stronghold. Finding Nym’s room. The small steam Mephits, pocketing some peculiarities. Mirran, Uthor, and Nym’s items/treasure, a lack of guards.

Back to Waterdeep, thanking Jarvis. Lym’s merchant trip. Crafting?, research? , inspecting items, Nero,? practicing making jewellery !

| 1 / 3 | We found Omrick. Alive, surprisingly. But… not with good news. After jumping after him into the pool to give chase to Nym as well as Ymira, we found him stubbornly climbing the sides of the maelstrom, as the “anchor” of all this shit he wears, tried to weigh and sink him back down. Still, he somehow successfully managed to climb his way back up along the sides of the maelstrom. And noticed us.

Ymira… had gotten away. Had taken the sceptre, and disappeared or flew off. And she’d killed Nym. Torn her to shreds, is what he told us…

I don’t really know how to feel about that. She betrayed her sister, poisoned by the lies of that Snake Only to have her throat slit. And when Omrick tried to save her, spare her from dying. She instead was torn to shreds, as Ymira revealed her true draconic form.

Any faint hope of saving her, bringing her back. Was shattered and destroyed when he told us that she’s been dismembered…

I… I don’t feel like she deserved that kind of fate. No one does. I cannot help but feel responsible for her death. That if we’d just waited. Or if I’d done things differently, she wouldn’t haven ended up with this… kind of miserable fate.

Can’t really help but grief for her still, even now… it’s strange.

Perhaps the brutal murder and death of one’s family… just hit me harder than expected. --

By the time we got back to the throne room, it was mostly empty. Only Uthor, Serissa’s uncle and advisor, was still there. Sceptical of what we told him. What we explained. I don’t blame him. Our actions got one of his own family killed.

Serissa had been taken away to safety. So that could try and figure out what was ailing her. Whatever the nature was of the curse that paralyzed her, it isn’t really something that’s easily cured it seems.

I wish I could help, but I don’t think, or doubt they’ll let me.

We inquired a bit more about Ymira, and though sceptical he might be of what we told him about her. He atleast seemed willing to help and answer some questions.

Unfortunately she doesn’t have a place of residence here. A room that we might search for clues. Or evidence, or anything else.

She apparently travelled a lot. Only showing up for important meetings. Instead though, he told us we could search Nym’s room. If that would perhaps help. Find the book, or notes that we searching for maybe there. He gave us permission to have a look around. She didn’t need the room anymore anyways.

Some guards had gone to check on the tank with orca’s by Nym, where… she’d been left. What was left.

| 2 / 3 |

Took us a while to find Nym’s room. The instructions Uthor gave us weren’t particularly detailed. We managed to find his room, With Nym’s supposedly being close by. But it wasn’t the easiest thing to find. While looking around near his study however, I did find a rather peculiar astrolabe, or astrolabe?

An… incredibly intricate and detailed piece. Far more that it would normally have to be. Though it was of gnomish make, as far is I could tell, it unfortunately didn’t have a signature. I’d be honoured though to meet whomever made this.

Felt a bit guilty about taking it, after the help Uthor gave us. Though after some coaxing from the others, I did decide to take it with me. -- I indeed doubt he’ll get much use out of it, considering its made for smallfolk. Though that doesn’t mean I still don’t feel guilty about taking it.

Something else caught my attention on his work table as well.

Almost missed it at first. The scattered clockwork pieces. Saying that it was a bit of puzzle, to figure out What it even was even originally supposed to be, would be an understatement. The best I could tell, it were the remains, and scattered broken pieces, of some sort of miniature underwater ship. Designed for sailing, or traversing underwater. Quite a quaint, and intriguing concept. So, hesitantly, I decided to take the broken and scattered remains of it, with me as well. To research and have a look at later. Both the astrolabe, and this, seemed like they’d be kind of a waste to leave here, abandoned and disregarded. I just hope Uthor won’t notice.

( helped Lym out with getting a wand that caught her eye as well. One higher up on the shelves. It seemed easier to just help her out and ask Lumos to grab it for her, than to leave anymore of mess, or trail behind than we already have, by coming here. Didn’t really dare take it for myself anyways.)

Eventually, Lym managed to find Nym’s room behind a secret doorway. She luckily spotted something off about one of the wall’s near Uthors’ quarters. And upon a closer look, there definitely seemed to signs of it being a regularly traversed hidden doorway. Why he didn’t mention that Nym’s room was hidden, is beyond me. But Lym and Omrick managed to brute force their way through opening it somehow. Revealing the hidden staircase behind it.

Took us a bit to climb the damn thing. As with all giant sized staircases we’ve encountered this far. (The one thing, that I definitely do hate about giant architecture.) But after the scaling the endless staircase, we arrived at a bedroom.

A pool of steaming and boiling hot water was in middle of room, overlooking a grand view of the sea outside. And the pool itself, was occupied by half a dozen, very young… elementals?. Steam mephitis I think. – Who were hollering at us, to go away, and that we shouldn’t be here. Spouting some very PG insults at us.

To quit them down a bit, I half-jokingly yelled a kid friendly “shut up” back at them. But despite their wariness of us, they were atleast brave enough to attempt to repel us with their steam breaths. It wasn’t lethal by any means, but it still hurt.

Lym seemed unfazed by it all. Pestering them in return, much to her enjoyment. Testing their so called braveness by approaching them, or going further into the room despite their warnings.

Having an elaborate look around much to their protest. Not that the ever dared to leave the safety of the pool that they hid within.

Omrick didn’t much care for the steam mephitis that harassing and annoying him. And remained by the staircase along with me.

Wisely refraining from provoking them, should his blood boil any further and start throwing actions, instead of the words and dwarven profanities he gave them.

(They did not approve of him actually swearing. Shocked and horrified by some of the words he said in his annoyance, funnily enough.)

They revealed though, that this was in fact Nym’s room. (And I felt a bit guilty that Nym wouldn’t be coming back to look after them anytime soon.)

We looked around the room for a while, hoping to find any clues. Or gain any insight on what had been going on here. But we’re unfortunately unable to find anything. Lym found some of her more valuable belongings and pocketed a few of them.

I was still a bit worried that taking or stealing from Nym’s room would only worsen our position with the storm giants. And still felt guilty about what happened to her. So I didn’t take anything myself.

We could use them money financially, after all the coin we’d given to bribe Vaal. But morally… I still wasn’t really sure.

We eventually gave up, after being unable to find anything, and after a final glance out her bedroom window. One portraying the amazing view over the sea, and stone spires outside, we ended up simply leaving her quarters.

We looked around a while longer. Exploring the stronghold a bit. Though for what purpose I’m still not sure. We managed to find the mausoleum, the tomb of the storm giants and their ancestors. Located below one of the statues of Strunmaus. But we didn’t really dare or want to disturb any of the graves, fearing the wrath of the storm giants should they find out we even entered this place. And we almost dropped the statue of their patron deity as well, when we tried to put it back and obscure the entrance.

-- I think we also managed to find Mirran’s room somehow as well. The other spires that we saw outside Nym’s bedroom window, likely being other rooms here in the stronghold as well. The others ended up having a look at some of treasure chests, taking some of the valuable fabrics and spices they found withing them. Along with a fairly curious potion. And a disturbing looking tentacle flail.

Again, I was a bit too worried about compromising our position with the giants, after the failed? Or successful? vote, to take anything for myself. But I did at least try one of the potions Omrick found, to try and determine what it was.

To my surprise, it was potion of longevity though. I guess I lost a few after having a sip to try and determine that? And while writing this now, I… definitely feel… I don’t know, less old? Now that I think about it. A little less rigid, physically. Less tired, or… It’s strange, there is slight feeling of dysmorphia with my sense of self. But I guess a good way? I feel like the people in Waterdeep would pay good gold for this kinda stuff though. Don’t actually know if Lym or Omrick took any of the bottles with them. But if they did, it could definitely be lucrative.

The tentacle rod, was a bit more concerning though. Lym decided to try it out on Omrick for some reason, after which the tentacles suddenly came alive and started attacking him… It definitely seems like a magical weapon of sorts, one I’ve heard rumour of. And Lym definitely seems like she’s gonna keep it, which… cant blame her.

We didn’t do much exploring after that though. Not wanting to push our luck any further, I feel like. Or I at least. We instead headed back to our quarters, discussing on heading back to Waterdeep.

Just in case we stayed the night. In case any of the giants still had business with us. But after letting them know that we were gonna head out, we weren’t approached, by any of them. And as such, simply headed out the following morning.

The Mealstom stronghold had been eerily empty, the past two or so days. The onliest giants we’d actually seen were pretty much only Uthor, and the two hill giants. No storm guards, or any of the delegates anywhere, strangely enough. Perhaps most already left. Or are standing guard by Serissa’s room?

I do hope Serissa will be alright though. Am still a bit worried about the curse and all that.

| 3 / 3 |

Upon making it back to the mansion, we took it easy for a bit. Taking the opportunity to finally relax, after all stress of attending a court with, … honestly a nerve wrecking amount of giants, and giant nobility.

We gave Jarvis our thanks once more, for helping out with preparing the feast for Guh. But after that, we kinda did our own thing. Omrick had gone of do to his own thing at least. And Lym had headed into town, to do some trading and shopping I think.

I decided to take the opportunity to do some more practicing with jewellery crafting. Melting down a few silver pieces to make a ring or 2, and necklace.

Definitely getting better at it, slowly but surely. But still got a long way to go to actually make anything remarkable.

Those who have been here for quite a while, know how much I admire every detail of the Strange costumes and how grateful I am to the costumers for their work. Those who have been here recently may have noticed this too 😅.

To my great regret, now I will not purchase either the original costume for the Doctor Strange figure, or a copy of it. Firstly because I'm not sure that those muscular tits will fit in it, and secondly because then I can spend this money on something that I definitely can't do myself. On Funko Sinister, for example.😌

So I decided to try and make his costume myself. First, because it's complicated but exciting (I'm not a professional sewer, but I'll try. Doctor Who suit, including this white shirt, I made myself, it's not perfect, but I like it). It's a kind of challenge. And secondly, maybe someday I will need the skills to sew this costume for, who knows, maybe for cosplay.😏

What I liked about getting ready for cosplay or historical reconstruction travels before, was how I managed to turn quite ordinary things into an intricate detail of a character's costume. And since I'm on a bit of a budget right now, if you look closely, you'll see that his waistband and boot bands and bracers are just regular boot laces. And I made a metal belt clip from a metal package of a small candle for an aroma lamp😅This is not a fully finished clip yet, I just tried it on whether it would fit or not.

The only major problem I expect is with his boots. I've never sewed shoes before, but if you don't try, you won't succeed. So let's get started!

#13: Doctor Strange [Marvel]

By the Eternal Vishanti, I welcome you back!

Today we're making the Sorcerer Supreme of the Marvel Universe-616, Doctor Strange. This spell-slinging master of the mystic arts has been my favourite superhero for quite some time now, and I'm always excited whenever we get something related to him. Now, just a quick note – this build is going to be based on the comic book version of Strange, not the MCU one. We're having real spells and incantations, not some thinly-veiled Clarke's Third Law. #LetMagicBeMagic.

Next Time: The Gods call for us again. The Dragon King blesses us with his presence.

Now then, let's examine what we need to become the mightiest mystic of the Multiverse:

Arcane Artillery: Doctor Strange holds enough mystic knowledge to give Mind Flayers an indigestion. What he doesn't know, he can look up in his Sanctum Sanctorum's library. We need to be prepared to have a spell for almost any situation.

Mystic Fists of Fury: Before opening his Third Eye fully, Strange spent some time in Kamar-Taj under the tutelage of the Ancient One, practising his combat skills in case he was ever in a situation where magic would fail him.

The Old Favourites: Whatever incarnation of the character we encounter, Doctor Strange is almost always certain to have the following items on him: the Eye of Agamotto, the Cloak of Levitation, and occasionally the Book of the Vishanti. After the Last Days of Magic event, Strange found a likeness for weapons like shortswords, staffs, and axes.

---

Stephen Strange was an ordinary human, but due to the years of exposure to otherworldly mystic forces, his biology changed to not accept regular human food anymore. This sounds like a good excuse to make him Variant Human. We get a +1 to two abilities of our choice (Intelligence and Constitution), we know how to speak Common and one other language of our choice, we get to pick one skill to be proficient in (Investigation), and we get to pick a feat. The Medic feat gives us a +1 to Wisdom, proficiency with the Medicine skill, and the ability to tend to our party members' wounds on short rests (Medicine check [DC 15], if successful - the player can use the maximum value of their Hit Dice to regain Hit Points).

Although he started as a simple physician, the turning point of Strange's life was his training in Kamar-Taj. He gained skills and knowledge, vast enough to call himself a Sage. From this background, we gain proficiency in Arcana and History, we learn two more languages, and we gain the Researcher feature; when we're to recall a piece of lore, and we don't know it, we usually can figure out where to find the information (be it a library, a temple, or somebody's private collection).

ABILITY SCORES

Intelligence is our primary stat, serving as our casting ability and our pride. Next is Constitution, all casters need to keep it high. We follow that up with Wisdom, lessons of the Ancient One granted us both humility and broadened our horizons.

Dexterity is a little low, but we'll take care of that later. Charisma is next, even after his training was complete Stephen can be a bit of a jerk and refusing to hear anyone but himself. Finally, we'll dump Strength.

CLASS

Assigning a D&D class to Doctor Strange was a very (and I mean very) difficult task. Starting off, I had to disregard his Sorcerer Supreme title, because in D&D sorcerers are born with the ability to wield magic. Strange had to study and practice to get his powers, so that makes him a Wizard. Kamar-Taj is also dedicated to studying the teachings of the Vishanti, a trinity of god-like beings who give the Sorcerer Supreme their powers, so that would make Strange a Cleric. Finally, he also draws powers from deals he made with otherworldly entities (such as Cyttorak, the Faltine, Munnopor, Watoomb, sometimes even Dormammu himself), which screams 'Warlock', except there's no way to incorporate multiple patrons without homebrewing. It wasn't easy, but I am satisfied with what I've created. Hopefully, you'll be, too.

Level 1 - Monk: We start just as Strange started, by honing our body first. Monks get the d8 Hit Dice, [8 + Constitution modifier] initial Hit Points, proficiencies with simple weapons and shortswords, and proficiency in one set of artisan's tools or a musical instrument (I'd go with alchemist's supplies). Our saving throws are Strength and Dexterity, and we get to pick two class skills (Insight and Religion).

Monks start with Unarmoured Defence. When we're not wearing armour, or holding a shield, our AC equals [10 + our Dexterity modifier + our Wisdom modifier]. We also get Martial Arts, which gives our unarmed strikes some more power. We can now use Dexterity instead of Strength for our unarmed strikes attack and damage rolls, we replace our Strength modifier with a d4 for damage of our unarmed strikes, and if we use the unarmed strike (or a monk weapon) on our turn as an Attack, we can use a bonus action to make an extra unarmed strike.

Level 2 - Monk: We get more mobile with Unarmoured Movement. Our ground speed increases by 10 feet if we're not wearing armour or holding a shield.

We also get access to the Monk's signature feature, the Ki energy. We start with 2 Ki Points, which we can spend on the following abilities:

Flurry of Blows: Spending 1 Ki Point after making an attack, lets us make two unarmed strikes as a bonus action;

Patient Defence: Spending 1 Ki Point lets us take a Dodge action as a bonus action on our turn;

Step of the Wind: Spending 1 Ki Point doubles our jump distance for the turn, and we can take the Dash or Disengage actions as a bonus action.

Level 3 - Wizard: We finally begin our study of spells and arcane arts.

Unfortunately, multiclassing into Wizard does not give us any additional benefits. We do, however, get Arcane Recovery. Once per day, during a short rest, we can choose a number of expended spell slots and refill them. The number must be equal to half of our Wizard level (rounded up), and the recovered spell slots cannot be 6th-level or higher.

Wizards also start with Spellcasting at their 1st level, and they know both cantrips and ritual spells. Our spellcasting ability is Intelligence, but unlike many other casting classes we do not get a full access to our spell list. Instead, we start with six spells in our spellbook and get two more each time we level up. Then, we can only prepare and use [Our Intelligence modifier + our Wizard level] spells at once. Describing all of those spells we pick would make this post over a mile long, and I've made that mistake with Sypha. To not make this a chore for you guys, I decided that from now on whenever I make a Wizard (or, a build where Wizard is a majority), I will simply list the spells we pick without descriptions. Let's be honest, if not here, you'll certainly find those in a different build. Alright, let's begin! First, we get to pick three cantrips:

Fire Bolt

Mage Hand

Minor Illusion

When it comes to our starting spells, let's take these six. Remember, we can only prepare a certain number, and we start with only two 1st-level spell slots.

Alarm

Detect Magic

Fog Cloud (to represent the Mists of Munnopor from the comics)

Shield (of the Seraphim)

Magic Missile (as a stand-in for the Daggers of Daveroth)

Sleep

Level 4 - Wizard: We get to pick our subclass, our Arcane Tradition. For Strange, who can be any combination of Wizard, Cleric, and Warlock, the best choice is to pick Theurgy from 2017 Unearthed Arcana. Theurgists are religious magic-users, who focus more on the arcane research rather than prayer and worship.

With Divine Inspiration, we get to select a Cleric Domain and a deity we wish to follow. Ask your DM if it's possible for you to worship three gods as a collective, a magical triumvirate. For your own Vishanti I suggest Mystra, Mother of All Magic, Azuth, the Lord of Spells, and Savras, the All-Seeing. For a Wizard, I'd say there's no better choice than Knowledge Domain.

We also get Arcane Initiate, which lets us replace spells we learn as we level up with the cleric spells of our chosen domain. What's cool about that feature is, other wizards cannot copy those spells from our spellbook. If we get all of our chosen domain's spells, we can keep replacing spells we learn with spells from the Cleric spell list.

Finally, we gain the Cleric's unique skill - Channel Divinity - except in our case it becomes Channel Arcana. We start with two effects: Divine Arcana and the effect granted by the chosen domain. Unlike Clerics, we can use the Channel Arcana once per short or long rest.

Divine Arcana lets us use a bonus action to control the flow of magic in the area. The next spell we cast gets a +2 to its attack roll or saving throw DC.

Knowledge of the Ages grants us quick insight into a skill we're not familiar with. For the next 10 minutes, we're proficient with one tool set of our choice or proficient in one skill we choose.

We gain one more 1st-level spell slot, and for this level's two spells let's get Feather Fall, and Command from the domain list.

Level 5 - Wizard: At this level we unlock 2nd-level spell slots, and we can access 2nd-level spells. Let's get Hold Person (for Strange's famous Crimson Bands of Cyttorak) and Icingdeath's Frost from 2021 Unearthed Arcana: Draconic Options (for the Icy Tendrils of Ikthalon).

Level 6 - Wizard: Time for our first Ability Score Improvement! As is the rule of thumb with all Wizards, boosting our Intelligence is a priority. That's what we shall put the 2 points into.

For this level's spells, we get another cantrip (Light), and let's take Locate Object and Mirror Image (to represent the Images of Ikonn).

Level 7 - Wizard: We unlock 3rd-level spell slots. Let's get Dispel Magic, and we can get Fly to finally get a representation for our Cloak of Levitation.

Level 8 - Wizard: We get our first subclass upgrade. Arcane Acolyte grants us the 1st-level benefits of our chosen domain. For Knowledge domain, it's Blessings of Knowledge; we learn two languages of our choice and get proficiency in two skills... which we pretty much are proficient in already. To not waste a feature, ask your DM if you can double your proficiency bonus for those two skills instead. If you get a 'yes', pick Arcana and Insight.

For this level's spells, let's get Counterspell and Magic Circle.

Level 9 - Wizard: From here, we get access to 4th-level spell slots. Banishment and Dimension Door seems like exactly what we need to keep enemies at bay and have fun with portals.

Level 10 - Wizard: Halfway through the build, and we get an ASI. Let's cap our Intelligence at 20, with those two points.

For this level's spells, let's grab Arcane Eye and turn back a little and get Speak with Dead from our domain list, as it is one of few spells not available to Wizards.

Level 11 - Wizard: We get access to 5th-level spells. With Contact Other Plane and Legend Lore, we become an even bigger magical know-it-all to aid our party.

Level 12 - Wizard: For our subclass upgrade, we get Arcane Priest, which grants us the Knowledge Domain's 6th-level benefit - Channel Divinity: Read Thoughts. One creature within 60 feet of us must make a Wisdom saving throw, or grant us access to its surface thoughts (emotions and active thoughts, no deep secrets or hidden motives) for 1 minute. During that time, we can also use our action to cast the Suggestion spell on the target; they fail their saving throw automatically.

We also get our final cantrip for this build (Sword Burst), and we get two more 5th-level spells: Planar Binding and Wall of Force.

Level 13 - Wizard: We unlock 6th-level spells. With Globe of Invulnerability and True Seeing, we upgrade our Shield of the Seraphim and give our Eye of Agamotto even more mystic abilities (as it should have had!)

Level 14 - Wizard: Time for another ASI! Let's put one point into Constitution for better HP chance, and one into Dexterity.

Arcane Gate finally gives us a proper yellow sparkly portal thingy, and let's get Chain Lightning for some much needed offensive capabilities.

Level 15 - Wizard: We're getting into 7th-level spells at this level. Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion allows us to recreate our very own Sanctum Sanctorum, and with Project Image we can get Strange's Astral Projection.

Level 16 - Wizard: At this level, we get our final subclass upgrade (and we cross the 100 HP mark, yay!). Arcane High Priest grants us the Knowledge Domain's 17th-level benefits. Visions of the Past lets us spend at least 1 minute of meditation to receive information about a specific object we're holding, or our immediate surroundings:

Object Reading - we learn of the object's previous owner. We know how the person came into contact with the object, how they lost it, and a significant even in their life tied to the object.

Area Reading - we see the events that transpired in the specific location (up to 50-foot cube), going back a number of days equal to our Wisdom modifier.

For this level's spells, let's get Plane Shift and Teleport to double-down on Strange's interdimensional travels.

Level 17 - Wizard: Time for 8th-level spells.

Illusory Dragon is a nice nod to the great "Doctor Strange and the Sorcerers Supreme" series (go check it out, it's awesome!), and Maze is another good banishment-type spell to have. Just don't use it on minotaurs.

Level 18 - Wizard: For our final ASI, let's put two points into Dexterity, leaving us unfortunately with an odd number (hopefully, you'll manage to find some ability-increasing item or benefit in your adventure).

For this level's spells, let's grab Power Word: Stun and Demiplane is a good combo to immobilize a foe and send it to the Shadow Realm Mirror Dimension.

Level 19 - Wizard: We unlock the pinnacle of D&D arcane, the 9th-level spells... that is, unless your DM introduces High Magic, which is... whew, a league of its own.

Time Stop and Foresight give us those Time Stone abilities (for all you MCU degenerates. Yes, I know what I said, but Strange was given the Time Stone in his new run, so I did not lie!)

Level 20 - Wizard: Our capstone is Wizard 18, which gives us the Spell Mastery feature. We get to choose one 1st-level spell and one 2nd-level spell from our spellbook and make them our signature moves; we can now cast them at will, without expending a spell slot. Shield and Hold Person seems like a good choice here.

For our final spells of this build, we cannot go without Astral Projection, and let's get Imprisonment a chance.

---

And there we go! Doctor Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts. Let's see what we've created:

First of all, we're the epitome of Wizard, we're a great utility caster and a pretty good support, with Internet-like capability of finding information. We're don't have a lot of damage-dealing abilities, like Sypha did, but remember - Wizards also get spell by finding them in the world and copying them in their spellbook. This here is only what we get automatically. Go and roam the world in search for that Fireball!

We have AC of 14, but with Shield (and later making it pretty much permanent) it can get up to 19, and we have 130 Hit Points on average. Our speed is also a little better, with 40 feet of movement (plus flying thanks to the Fly spell).

Unfortunately, our Charisma and Wisdom are not great, so those saving throws might be difficult. Our Strength is also not the greatest, so we're pretty much forced to fight with magic.

---

And that is it! Next time, we return to SMITE for a few builds, as I absorbs information about Fire Emblem: Three Heroes. Also, the game devs just released a teaser for Morgana le Fay, and my first reaction was 'Hexblade Warlock'. Do you agree?

Anyway, hope you enjoyed it and your day is going great. I'll see you next time!

- Nerdy out!

How would the adult trio handle their s/o having post partum depression after giving birth?

Hisoka

Hisoka wouldn’t know exactly how to act when first noticing there’s something with you (which would be soon, giving his perceptive nature) because it’s likely that he has no clue of what is going on. Yes, he may be good at reading people’s emotional states, but this is more connected to his fighting skills. Even if it isn’t the case with you, well, it doesn’t mean he can understand what the problem is with no basis or information, per say. He is perceptive, not a mind reader. Likely, he’ll first consider this one of those “woman things”, maybe an effect of giving birth or of the months you spent carrying the baby…

An idea he’ll soon put aside. Many times, people may not realize at all that someone they live with is suffering from depression. Hisoka? Possible, but doubtful. And yes, living with someone who is depressive(no matter the sort) might be complicated and Hisoka will be frustrated,but more because he’s sensing that there is something wrong, something is harming you and he can’t figure out exactly what it is.

While there is the chance Hisoka will figure it out by himself (especially if he heard about post-partum depression, like while you were pregnant), if he doesn’t, then he will either try being subtle whenasking about it and, if that fails, he will be way more direct (read: Sitting with you, looking you in the eyes, and asking what is happening). If you can’t answer (because even you isn’t sure of how to explain it) or don’t want to, Hisoka will have two reactions: Doing some research himself or dragging you to a doctor (the first option seems preferable to Mr.I-Can-Deal-With-Everything-By-Myself-Because-I’m-A-Lone-Wolf, but the moment he figures things out, well, fine, he will get his coat. Hisoka isn’t dumb enough to dismiss something so serious like that).

However things go, it remains that Hisoka won’t just sit back and watch your condition get worse, though. Anyone else, he wouldn’t give a damn, but we’re talking about you, someone (perhaps the only one) Hisoka loves. Maybe he isn’t the best when it comes down to taking care of someone else or offering the necessary support this condition demands, but hell if he won’t do his best. Surprisingly, due to Hisoka’s view that it’s only “the two of you” (and the baby now) and how perceptive he can be (well,now that he knows what is happening), his actions would really show he’s therefor you. It’s not in his nature to ignore facts, so he won’t act as if the depression will just heal itself or go away.

Would he be perfect in this situation? No, because no one is. But he would try, enough so most people would actually be shocked,considering Hisoka is… Well… Hisoka.

Illumi

Look, Illumi is not a great person when it comes to matters of the heart, so his ignorance may make him seem cold towards the issue. He might notice that you’re depressed (or at least, that something strange is going on, depending on how you act), but even if he does, well, it will be one of those times when his sort of logic doesn’t help the situation: The baby is healthy, you’re together, everything is fine… So what reason could you have to be sad? He may even say something insensitive, but it’s not out of malice (not that it helps): It’s pure ignorance.

That doesn’t mean Illumi will keep this behavior once he notices you seem to be having bad days lately (or things get bad enough that it ends up being noticeable even to him). Offering comfort is not his strong suit, but he will try to discover what is going on and how he should help you. He may take you to the doctor, believing that you caught some illness (well, one might say that you did).

Another possible scenario is that his mother might see what is going on (or anyone else who knows about post-partum depression) and tell him, as this isn’t a matter of “weakness” of any kind and not something a person just “gets over with”. A brief explanation will be enough for Illumi to do some research of his own.

In this case, whether he will talk to you about i tor not will depend on your personality, but again, this is Illumi we’re talking about it, so it’s hard to say how much this may help or not. He will, however, try to help you on his own first, even if he’s a little unsure of how to do it (again,matters of the heart are not his strong suit) so he may try asking his mother for some advice. However it goes, he will try to be more understanding of the issue. He may do things that tend to cheer you up, perhaps leave the baby with his parents one night so you two can have a romantic dinner, things like that.

If Illumi notices it doesn’t seem to be helping,then he will take you to a doctor (in this case, he didn’t do it right away mostly because he believed he could help you by himself).

Chrollo

Chrollo might be the one most likely to notice whatis going on, for several reasons. First off, he would probably read a lot aboutpregnancy (due to his lifestyle, he would want to be prepared for any eventuality,especially if something happened while he couldn’t take you to a doctor, thoughhe would do his best so that wouldn’t happen), perhaps even getting some helpfrom Macchi and Pakunoda at times (like when you start to get cravings and hehas absolutely no idea if it’s normal for you to suddenly want to mix ice creamand French fries) while you’re expecting.

Hell, considering the conditions of Meteor City, Iwouldn’t be surprised if a few mothers there suffer from post-partum depression,so the city has a better awareness of it.

As such, he may at least be aware of the symptoms. Youmay have discussed this while you were pregnant as well (again, just to besafe). All of this may make Chrollo a little better prepared and more attentiveto the signs than Hisoka or Illumi. You may not tell him at first (it doesn’tmatter if it’s your husband, friends, or family, it’s not always easy to talkabout depression. At times, the person may not even notice it right away theyhave it), but Chrollo has not got where he is without being observant. Yes,like with Hisoka and Illumi, depending on how exactly things happen, he may notnotice right away but he will soon.

He is likely to talk with you as soon as he feelsthere is something wrong, while also thinking about what he may do to help you.Yes, he probably read about it as well, but in the end, it’s one thing to readand talk about something like depression, dealing with it in real life isanother.

He would already have made preparations to lay lowfor a while, as he would want to be with you during those first months (no onewho ever fought Chrollo would believe their eyes when seeing him playing withthe baby, trust me), so he would dedicate this time to you and the baby, which mayhelp with dealing with the depression. Now, living with someone who suffers fromdepression is not always easy, but Chrollo would try to do whatever he could soyou two would get through it.
