This is every form of magic in the MCU canon introduced so far. Only movies and Disney+ series.

[kyootnbl]

The fact that wanda got both chaos AND witch magic, she definitely one of the strongest

[ronaldverdegaal]

What about jimmy woo and Scott Lang’s card magic?

[TheCrazeace]

Magic in the MCU seems like a very powerful tool. Strange's spells allowed him to go on an equal footing with Thanos using four Infinity Stones. And Wanda's Chaos Magic can rival the powers of the Stones.
Loki and Sylvie's magic were also able to give them an edge against the TVA.

This side of the MCU definitely needs to be explored further

[Tarikkb]

Basically wanda is just a weird, mysterious bomb tht can go off anytime and destroy everything and still have no idea how she did it

In the comics, there are 4 kinds of Magic

Egocentric Magic is the energies from one's own being. This translates to some form of psionic ability such as telepathy, telekinesis, astral projection, etc.

Ecocentric Magic is the ability to harness the ambient energies from one's surroundings such as cosmic energy or weather manipulation. This is similar to Asgardian Magic in the MCU.

Exocentric Magic is the form of magic achieved by invoking an extradimensional mystical beings (both benevolent and manevolent) to empower one's spell such as Cyttorak, Agamotto, Raggadorr, Watoomb, the Seraphims, Dormammu, Shuma-Gorath and the Vishanti to name a few. This is similar to the Eldritch Magic in the MCU.

Necromantic Magic is a form of magic obtained from the extermination of life forces, usually through human sacrifices and blood rituals and is also powered by pain, anguish, and fear of sentient life. This was created by the Elder God Chthon, inscribed in the pages of the Darkhold and was practiced mainly by the servants of the Elder God Set during the Hyborean Age (during the Knull and Conan series) and still practiced by twisted witches and sorcerers. This is basically Dark Magic itself like what was practiced by Agatha Harkness in the MCU.

Chthonic Magic or simply known as Chaos Magic was created by the Elder God Chthon; and was considered so powerful and dangerous that is was thought to be non-existent even by the Sorcerer Supreme (as well as by Agatha Harkness in the MCU). Chaos Magic is a form of magic that allows its wielder to manipulate, warp, and reconstruct the fabric of existence and reality to the user's very whims, and bring about total destruction to the cosmos. This form of magic controls both the improbable and the impossible. Chthon who's unholy might was the source of this power, used this form of magic to rule over Earth Dimension, and was only banished after all the mages of Earth banded together to end his rule, not through any spell or incantation, but through a lie. A lie that says that there is no God of Chaos, and that is no Chaos Magic, and thus ending Chthon's reign of horror. This form of magic can only be utilized by Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch who was chosen by Chthon himself to serve as his avatar upon his advent back to the earthly plane.

If Scarlet Witch in WandaVision is not yet fully knowledgeable in magic and she's already so powerful and able to create a reality, what more if she learned and master everything?

[marcusblasurca]

Chaos magic is the strongest magic and mutiversal

[connorns]

Chaos magic is extremely powerful as it can manipulate literally anything. Its also extremely rare and only cthon and wanda have the ability to manipulate it. (And some other chicks but mostly them

[wingspparow]

Wanda is probably the strongest and most feared avenger and hero in the entire MCU. I loved here the minute she showed up on screen.

[dangzitspro]

Wanda now has access to unlimited powers from the Darkhold, which makes her even stronger from her reality warping chaos magic. This amplifies her already powerful magic together with the piece of the mind stone inside of her. The Scarlet Witch is literally a nexus being capable of rewriting reality on a universal scale, access to multiple dimensions, manipulate probability to her favour, and transmute matter including Thor’s lightning. Her chaos magic exceeds that of even the Sorcerer Supreme.

[tuananhdang]

Chaos magic in comics are the strongest, but also hard to control. I mean it makes sense why its hard to control. Not needing to mumble out the spell or needing special hand signs is what makes her stronger witch than others. On top of that chaos magic is limitless

[Jynxtheicequeen]

I LOVE the magic side of the MCU!
I’m so excited for phase 4 and onwards now as it seems magic will be taking the main stage now!

[agathaharkness]

I think base/regular magic is blue(the witches/billy) Wanda's is red because of chaos magic agtahas is purple because of dark magic and dr strange uses eldritch magic(orange/sparks)

[ariesawrath]

i love that we recently got to see Loki and Sylvie use their Magic more engagingly in Combat, and notice how its Green with hints of black kind of Like Wanda's Magic and Agatha's Magic.

[faiezhaiqal]

I can see 2 types of magic user here:
- Witches or people who born with magic power/ability
- Normal people who can learn to draw(from another source) power and perform magic to cast a spell

This is only my opinion tho.. haha!

[voli]

This is the best sound text to speech I have ever heard

[janbensi]

In my opinion Feige is working on a general framework of magic for the MCU currently. This is shown by the fact that Loki in the new Disney+ series also channels green energy at his hands when using magic in the same way as all other magic users we know from Wandervision. In his previous appearences his use of magic was not depicted in that way. So maybe we will be shown a general theory of magic in the future.

[rae]

About half way through I realized the voice is automated and now I can't unhear it.

[marcoantunes]

I like how every kind of magic is somehow related to one of the colors of the infinity stones, so it makes the MCU visually coherent
