Synopsis

Sensing sorcery, Strange finds a woman wandering the streets under a spell. After guiding her to his house, he consults his mentor. Strange travels into the past, though he's warned that if the candle used in the spell goes out, he will be trapped there forever. In Ancient Egypt, he battles Zota and removes his power. While returning to the present, the candle flickers out. But Strange is able to use the light from his amulet to guide his way, just barely making it back. Strange reveals the woman is Cleopatra, sent to the future when she scorned Zota. He sends her back to her own time.
