Introduction
Daughter of Umar the Terrible and niece to the Dread Dormammu, Clea is the rightful Queen of the Dark Dimension and wife to Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme, Dr. Stephen Strange. She started out just as any other oppressed subject of the Dark Dimension until she became inspired to rebel after witnessing Dr. Strange's heroic defiance of its then current ruler, Dormammu. She would later join Dr. Strange in his adventures on Earth, becoming both his disciple and later wife. Eventually she would return to her dimension to join the rebellion as their leader, and after learning of her secret heritage and overthrowing her universe's dictatorship, would become ruler of the Dark Dimension herself.

Spells and Magic
Being born both in the Dark Dimension and as a half-Faltine, Clea has a natural talent for magic. That same potential would prompt Strange to take Clea in as her disciple, vastly increasing her mastery of sorcery. After the Flames of Regency, a force that empowers the wielder with the subjects of the Dark Dimension's support, were passed down to her, becoming Sorceress Supreme of the Dark Dimension, and when tapping into her Faltine form, her powers would advance further. At her peak, Clea's power rivals her mother, Umar, and even her uncle, Dormammu, becoming a ruler of dimensional power.
Currently, after the death of Strange, by grafting a portion of he late husband's soul, Doctor Strange, as he died unto her own, she was able to inherit his title of Supreme, wielding two Sorcerer Supreme titles simultaneously. The magic power of the two titles do not perfectly stack, instead they must be balanced by Clea as she taps into them otherwise they would work against themselves.
