Eye of Agamotto

## History

The Eye of Agamotto was created by the first Sorcerer Supreme, Agamotto after the First Interdimensional War. It's purpose was to allow someone to harness the power of the Time Stone

### Effects

Allows the wearer to safely harness the power of the Time Stone.

### Creation

The Eye was created by Agamotto, using the Time Stone as a component to allow the user to safely wield it without directly touching it and suffering the adverse effects of touching an Infinity Stone. This took place after the First Interdimensional War had come to an end. The container was created in the shape of an eye, hence its name. The mystical properties of the relic, as well as the spells and gestures necessary to use it, were studied by the writer Cagliostro, who wrote them down on his personal grimoire.

### Ozroar and Gaylette's Discovery

In the Earth year of 1800 two of the sorcerers named Ozroar and Gaylette discovered the existence of the necklace within the library of Kamar-Taj the headquarters of the Masters of the Mystic Arts and the two went to the sorceress supreme at the time who was called the Ancient One. Since Ozroar was her grandson the Ancient One told them what the necklace was and what it was capable of.  She also told them that there were interdimensional beings known as the Sith who wanted nothing more but to steal it and for the last 3,600 years and that it had been protected at Kathmandu from them because they were unable to pass from their realm into Earth due to the fact their galaxy was so far away. The only way for them to get to Earth was through a portal. She told them she sensed they knew that the necklace was on Earth and she could sense the growing darkness as the Sith searched for it. She also sensed that the reigning dark lord of the Sith Darth Tenebrous and his apprentice Darth Plagueis were formulating plans to come to Earth for it putting it in danger.

This is when Ozroar and Gaylette came forward and told the Ancient One that they were planning on creating a dimension of their own and that they were going to leave the Masters anyway. Ozroar told the Ancient One that in his new dimension he could protect the necklace and that it would be far away from any threats by the Sith. The Ancient One took this into consideration and agreed as she realized that  the necklace would be safer if the Sith thought it was on Earth but it wasn't Before the two sorcerers left the Ancient One placed an enchantment on the necklace making it so the Sith could not sense it.

### Creation of Oz

Taking the necklace with them the two created their new realm naming it Oz after the first two letters of Ozroar’s name and Gaylette changed her name to Ozette for good measure. Ozroar and Ozette built the Emerald City hiding the necklace in the treasure room where nobody would ever find it, and proclaiming themselves the king and queen of Oz.

### Resting In Oz

The two eventually had two children named Syrus and Pastoria telling them stories containing hints as to where the necklace was and what it was but not revealing it to them. When the two died Syrus took the throne and remembering the stories searched Oz for the necklace but did not find it. Eventually Pastoria was forced to take the throne after Syrus was abusing the people of Oz and he died leaving his queen Morgana to search for the necklace. The Wicked Queen did as her husband wanted but this proved unsuccessful and she died as well by her niece Evanora’s hand just before the end of the reign of King Pastoria. During his reign Pastoria and his queen Lurline searched for the necklace and got farther along than his brother did but never found it. Despite this Pastoria repeated the same stories his father had told him as a child to his children Locasta, Evanora, Glinda, and Theodora. Locasta and Evanora being the two smartest of the four spent much of their childhood and teenage years searching for the necklace as their father had told them the stories were true. Glinda and Theodora were not interested however.

### First Witch War

Following Morgana death Pastoria died as well after Evanora poisoned him, and took control of Oz, with the help of her cousins Mombi and Singra who were Syrus and Morgana's children. She betrayed her sisters Locasta and Glinda and turned Theodora evil. During her time in the Emerald City Evanora searched for the necklace using the hints her father left her but was unable to find it because Locasta and Glinda overthrew her and her other sister with the help of a wizard before she could get to it. Evanora was exiled to the east while Theodora was exiled to the west. The wizard became the ruler of Oz and before he officially rose to that position Locasta and Glinda explained that the necklace was hidden in the Emerald City and what it was capable of. Glinda became interested when Locasta told her the truth prior to this prior to the wizard’s coming. The wizard during his reign in Oz kept this a secret and the necklace continued to remain in the Emerald City.

### Second Witch War

After a while Evanora took control of the eastern quadrant of Oz and began preparing her forces to take back the Emerald City reuniting with her sister Theodora and their two cousins Mombi and Singra. The four of them were determined to find the necklace. Singra was defeated first and sent to the realm of Narnia by Glinda using a magic bean.This angered the three remaining wicked witches who increased their hold on Oz. When Evanora and Theodora’s sisters discovered Evanora’s power had grown again both went to the east and fought her. While the trio were fighting a house came flying out of the sky falling right on Evanora killing her instantly and ending her reign of terror for good in the year of 1978 From the house emerged a little girl from Earth named Dorthy Gale. This girl by the same name also killed Theodora by throwing a bucket of water on her and melting her. Seeing her wicked family members were all defeated Mombi decided to go into exile until a time she would return to seek revenge. With the wicked witches now gone Oz underwent a new era of peace.

### The Sith Search Oz

26 years later after Evanora was killed the current dark lord of the interdimensional Sith Darth Sidious (Sheev Palpatine) arrived in Oz with the help of the time stone’s brother the Space Stone. The Space Stone was contained within a vessel  called the Tesseract and it opened a portal allowing for him pass through. During this time period Mombi had continued to look young and prosperous due to her stealing the heads of young women, She was able to take on many forms. Mombi approached Sidious and Sidous told her he was looking for the Eye of Agamotto which he sensed was in this realm. Mombi hearing this told Sidious about being in Oz and that she knew someone who could help him better than she could, but that she was killed 26 years prior to his arrival, however this being was also a powerful witch as well as her cousin to find help in bringing her back. To bring her back however they would need the source of her power which were her silver shoes. She told him the shoes were in the Northern Palace and the two went their and confronted Evanora’s sister Locasta defeating her but not killing her.Their presence however did not go unnoticed and Locasta and Glinda reunited with each other for the third time, teaming up to try and protect the Eye of Agamotto which was still in the Emerald City Treasure Room and had continued to remain their for the last 136 years. After their sisters died the two of them found the necklace and the enchantment that was on had worn off allowing Sidious to sense it.

Mombi and Sidious found Evanora’s shoes then used them to bring her back to life and she returned in the form of an ugly and haggard witch which was the form she was when she died. All of her wicked deeds contorted her face. She returned and greeted her long lost cousin with joy and proclaimed she knew Mombi wouldn’t forget her. She then asked Mombi how long she had been dead and Mombi told her 26 years. This angered Evanora and she muttered curses to her sisters Locasta and Glinda. She then laid her eyes on Sidious and demanded to know who the hell he was. Sidious told her he was the Dark Lord of the Sith and that he was searching for the Eye Agamotto which he believed to be here. Evanora was stunned by this and told him so you’re what a Sith looks like.

Sidious eyed her questioningly. Evanora asks for forgiveness then tells him that her father told her stories about her grandfather Ozroar and that 136 years ago he had created Oz and brought the Eye of Agamotto here containing the time stone which was one of the 6 Infinity Stones unbeknownsed to her. The reason for this was to hide it from a group called the Sith who were searching for it for if they did find it would do catastrophic damage to the entire universe because they wanted to destroy the universe and recreate it. Sidious hearing this was amazed and said yes he was the Dark Lord of the Sith but it was not him that came close to finding the Eye. He will tell her it was infact his master’s master Darth Tenebrous who achieved this. He told her that his master Darth Plagueis was the one who killed Tenebrous and that he had killed Plagueis himself. Evanora then asked Sidious to prove he is the Dark Lord of the Sith and Sidious nodding pulled out the Tesseract which was glowing blue. Evanora will stare in awe at the object and Sidious told her while the Eye of Agamotto contains the Time Stone this cube called the Tesseract contains the Space Stone which is its brother and that he needed to find the Reality Stone, Power Stone, Soul Stone, and Mind Stone to complete his plan. Mombi was shocked as Evanora didn’t tell her about the other five Infinity Stones.

Evanora told Sidious that for all of her life she had searched for unlimited power and that she now pledged her loyalties to him forever and would do whatever it took for him to succeed at his plans including betraying her grandfather to ensure that this happened. She then told him how she had poisoned her father just for the purpose of seeking out power and publically manipulated Oz into thinking her sister Glinda had done it as well as keeping Oz under powerful political control. Palpatine listened intently and was impressed by Evanora’s ambition which he saw could even rival his own one day. He told Evanora he accepted her offer and told her and Mombi to take him to the Eye of Agamotto. Evanora agreed entirely but Mombi stopped and told them both that it would probably be better if she reawakened Evanora’s sister Theodora who had died shortly after her clear on the other side of Oz in the west. She did not mention Singra because nobody ever found out where she had gone to. Mombi told him that this would ensure he would have a stronger force backing him up. Palpatine considered everything that was said and agreed. He believed he could learn more about Oz making it possible for him to enslave it in the future.

Sidious and Evanora traveled to the Western Castle which had been Theodora’s home and where they began executing their plans. Mombi on the other hand went on a private mission to collect the Gnome Scepter which would allow her to control the Gnome King and his army as well as Oz. Evanora and Sidious's goal was to find the orange ring that had belonged to Theodora and was her power source. When they arrived they came into contact with the winkie guards that had abandoned Theodora after her death. The guards tried to arrest the duo but found themselves getting blasted with lightning killing them. Interrogating the winkies the two eventually found the ring and they brought Theodora back to life. Theodora said she’d join Sidious if he used the Tesseract to travel to another realm and murder a man by the name of Rumpelstiltskin telling him that his dagger was the only thing that could end him. Evanora went with Sidious and the two killed Rumpelstiltskin after a grueling fight. This came with a price and Sidious was forced to take on his powers becoming the new Dark One. Evanora and Sidious returned to Oz and showed Theodora the dagger and she joined Sidious. Before traveling to the Emerald City the trio went back to the Northern Palace where they found Mombi had gotten her hands on the Gnome Scepter. Palpatine asked her what it did and she told him it controlled the Gnomes allowing her to control all of Oz on behalf of the Sith Lord. Sidious intrigued by this allowed Mombi to keep the scepter if she gave him her magic wand which she agreed too. If the scepter was destroyed the Gnomes would be destroyed with it. Evanora, Theodora, and Sidious returned to the Emerald City in the meantime.

When they got back to the Emerald City Evanora took Palpatine to the treasure room and it was their that they found the Eye of Agamotto. Evanora immediately went to grab it from its hiding spot but before handing it to Sidious she used it to restore her emerald necklace which was once the source of all her power. Along with restoring her original powers she restored her once beautiful and graceful looks turning back the time with the necklace. Once she was finished she handed the necklace to Sidious bowing. He took and the necklace then lifted up the Tesseract to open a portal. Before he could do this however a blast of white energy shot the Tesseract out of his hands. The three turned to see Locasta and Glinda standing there with their magic sources drawn. Sidious seeing this became angry and demanded to know the meaning of this. Evanora told him it was her sisters and Sidious told Evanora and Theodora to eliminate them. A fight broke out between the four witches with the wicked ones getting the upper hand. The good witches would not give up though and continued fighting. Sidious found the Tesseract and used it to open up a portal while he put the necklace around his neck. The blue portal tore through the roof of the treasure room sucking objects into it. Palpatine ordered Evanora and Theodora to jump through it and they did so. Glinda and Locasta however tried to follow them but before they could Sidious shocked both of them into the wall knocking them unconscious with a single hand of Force Lightning effortlessly. He then messaged Mombi informing her that her two good cousins had been stunned and she was to imprison both of them. Mombi appeared and took custody of the two of them and Palpatine jumped through the portal with the two wicked witches or so she thought. Before that Locasta was able to cast a magical illusion making it look like she was in Mombi's custody which would later help her break her sister out of prison. The illusion allowed her to follow her sisters and their new master landing in Sidious's galaxy and to remain invisible to them. As the trio landed hard on the ground outside of Sidious’s secret base on Coruscant and the portal closed. Sidious inspected the eye and to his great joy saw it hadn’t been damaged. Sidious took the eye and hid it in his base until he was ready to use it.

### The Dark Prophecy of Earth

Approximately one year later Evanora told Sidious about her cousin Lord Voldemort who she was searching for before she was killed after following a message her mother had left behind for her about her maternal family prior to her murder by Morgana. She told him he was a very powerful dark wizard that could greatly help him in his plans to destroy the Jedi and take control of the galaxy. She also said that the two of them could go back in time to the day he was killed and reverse that bringing him back to life. Sidious agreed and they asked Theodora if she wanted to join them. Theodora said yes and the three traveled to the realm of Earth using the Tesseract and moved to use the Eye of Agamotto to reverse time and change history. This proved successful as they walked through the last hours of Voldemort’s life.

Evanora and Theodora brought their armies with them for the ride. Sidious told Voldemort all of his goals and aspirations and Evanora told him how their mother was his second cousin one removed. These events took place the night before his death and Voldemort didn’t join him. Sidious and the witches then retreated until the next morning and interfered with the battle taking place at Hogwarts. Still Voldemort refused to join him and got killed and Sidious then reversed time. Realizing what happened Voldemort died again and this this time Harry Potter realized what was happening extremely scared. Voldemort continued to disagree with Sidious and the witches so Sidious used the Eye of Agamotto to lock him in an endless time loop forcing him to an eternity of reliving his death over and over again until he was willing to cooperate. Voldemort was impressed by the awesome power Sidious possessed with the Eye and him and his army joined Sidious under the terms that he could persecute mudbloods still on Earth.

Palpatine agreed but said he must wait until his plans were complete and Voldemort and his Death Eaters joined Sidious’s cause. After the fact Sidious reversed all of the Death Eater defeats. He then froze all of the wizards were fighting on Harry Potter’s side. Before traveling back to the present Voldemort sent his servant Bellatrix Lestrange to get their daughter Delphini. Once they had done this everyone traveled back to the present. Before leaving Earth the Eye of Agamotto was used to create a false timeline in which Voldemort was still presumed dead and nobody knew he had a daughter except him and Bellatrix. Everyone on Earth that was not a Death Eater was trapped in this timeline. The events would later greatly change the future of Earth leading to severe consequences giving Sidious power to affect what happened on the planet from his galaxy.

### Heart of Jadis

One year after Voldemort joined forces with Sidious lended the Eye of Agamotto to Theodora sending her on a mission to the realm of Narnia. In Narnia she was to use the necklace and turn back time reawakening Jadis the White Witch.Once she had done this she was to kill her again and rip out her heart for him to experiment on. Theodora traveled to Narnia but discovered that her cousin Singra who had arrived there years before, had been manipulated into resurrecting Jadis and then murdered by the Narnian witch. Due to this a massive fight broke out between Theodora's army and the army of Jadis. The two witches dueled almost stale mating but Theodora successfully killed Jadis and ripped out her heart. She brought it back to Sidious as well as the Eye and he congratulated her on he success.

### Locasta Finds the Eye

Sidious continued to hold onto the Eye of Agamotto for the remainder of the Clone Wars but did not use it again. Instead he stored it away in his Secret Facility in the Industrial Complex of Coruscant. While Palpatine and his minions were busy on a mission Locasta snuck into the complex and stole the Eye. Teleporting herself to Earth she gave it to the Ancient One and explained to her great great-grandmother everything that had happened since 1866. The Ancient One thanked her great great-granddaughter and returned the Eye of Agamotto to Kamar Taj.

### Battle of New York

In 2012, the Ancient One brought the Eye of Agamotto with her to New York City as she defended its Sanctum from the invading Chitauri.[2]

### Returning the Stone to the Tomb of Freddon Nadd

In January of 2016 A.D. Sidious located the Tomb of Freedon Nadd on Dxun. This was one of the 6 Sith temples that used the Infinity Stones as a source of power. When he arrived he removed the stone from the Eye and  placed it in its resting place at the top of the tomb and the tomb opened rising out of the ground more. When Sidious entered he found the tomb was full of powerful kyber crystals. As he was admiring the scene Evanora and Darth Maul entered the room and Sidious told them about the tomb excusing Maul. He then proceeded to pour his darkness into the crystals bleeding them red. Satisfied by what had just been done he leaves Dxun and the tomb going back to his palace.

### The Ancient One Senses the Truth

Six months  after returning of the Time Stone to the Tomb of Freedon Nadd Sidious’s henchman Lord Cronal was operating on the tomb to see what it was capable of. While doing so his master Darth Sidious manipulated the Time Stone to send a wave of Temporal Energy shooting through the universe intentionally. The Ancient One, the same being that  Evanora’s grandfather King Ozroar had tried to help felt this wave of energy for the first time since the Time Stone had mysteriously disappeared after the Battle of New York. She it was in danger because it had fallen back into the hands of the Sith Order.. She ran to find her sorcerers and yelled at them to hurry for the universe was in danger. About thirty sorcerers heard this and they ran to her aid. Using her power she opened a portal that led directly to the Tomb of Freedon Nadd and all of them passed through it landing directly outside of the great pyramid looking in horror at what she saw.

Cronal saw this and demanded to know who the hell she was. The Ancient One ignored the question and ordered her sorcerers to attack. Cronal screamed at the star destroyers overhead to open fire and his Dark Side Prophets to kill the sorcerers. One of the sorcerers jumped to the top of the tomb and grabbed the green time stone which immediately killed him blowing him up. This angered the Ancient One and she turned the reality around them sideways. Cronal fathomed by this began to fall which angered him. Raising his hands a blast of pure red power burst from them hitting the Ancient One and knocking her to the ground breaking her concentration and tipping the reality back to normal. Cronal laughed stating her little magic tricks were no match for him when he had the Reality Stone under his control. The Ancient One looked with horror at the realization and stood there paralyzed. Cronal’s prophets rushed out of the temple with lightsabers in hand to engage the sorcerers. They swung at their enemies but the sorcerers were conjuring shields of energy to block the red saber blades.

Cronal turned to the sorcerers and shot more red energy at them killing several of them. Seeing this was effective he continued to blast them and more were killed. Seeing this the Ancient One pointed at the ground and rocks flew up hitting Cronal and stunning him. This enabled the sorcerers to press their attack and they conjured up assorted weapons killing some of the prophets. The Ancient One continued throwing rocks at Cronal and he was destroying them with his energy blasts. With another blast of energy Cronal hit the Ancient One knocking her hard against the ground. Having no other option the Ancient One used Astral Projection to force her spirit out of her body. To Cronal it looked as if she was dead. She floated through the wall of the tomb finding the necklace part of the Eye of Agamotto. She picked it up and floated to the top of tomb sucking the Time Stone Back into the necklace. She then floated to her body and repossessed it. Picking up the Eye she used it to freeze Cronal and the prophets in their spot rendering them unable to move. Then she put it on her neck and turned time backwards saving her sorcerers from Cronal killing them.  She opened a portal back to Earth and the prophets followed her. Once it closed Cronal and the prophets could move again and they saw that the stone was gone as well as the sorcerers. Cronal screamed in rage as he knew he would have to contact the Emperor, not knowing it was all part his scheme to set Thanos up to find all the stones. The Ancient One went back to the Library of Kamar-Taj and placed the Eye of Agamotto in its original resting place.

Cronal contacted Emperor Palpatine telling him what had happened and Palpatine faked being furious. Palpatine got in his shuttle with his new empress Evanora and the two rushed to Dxun to find Cronal. When they did Cronal went more in detail describing what had happened and Palpatine letting his anger get the best of him unleashed torrents of Force Lightning on Cronal who collapsed to the ground screaming. Cronal told Palpatine he didn’t know who took the Infinity Stone. Palpatine told Cronal he didn’t understand why the stone could have been stolen if Cronal already had the power of the Reality Stone in his grasp but after saying this Palpatine closed his eyes and stretched out his mind peering into the past. As he did this he saw the fight that had just taken place and saw the Ancient One at the center of it. He then saw how she had run panicking about the Eye of Agamotto and how her sorcerers called her the Ancient One. Palpatine proclaimed it was a woman by the name of the Ancient One that had led the capture of the stone.

Hearing this Evanora asked Palpatine to repeat himself. He did so and realization dawned on her face and she stated that she should have known. She then told Palpatine that she didn’t think it was relevant until now but she was wrong. She continued by telling Palpatine that the Ancient One was the sorceress supreme of the Masters of the Mystic Arts that had given her grandfather the Eye of Agamotto and that Cronal must have done something with the stone that she was able to sense all the way from Earth. Due to this she had to come and get it. Palpatine told him that he had felt a wave of temporal energy wash through the galaxy but it must have washed through the entire universe as well if she was able to feel it still pretending that he wasn't responsible for it. He then asked Evanora if she knew where the Ancient One was located. Evanora told him she was located someplace on Earth and that she’d be happy to find her and gain her trust as she couldn’t turn down the granddaughter of one of her closest friends.

After a couple of weeks Palpatine agreed and told Evanora to keep him informed. Evanora then asked if she could be given control of some of the prophets and if Palpatine could contact her cousin Voldemort for help as he was still on Earth. Palpatine agreed and said she could since Cronal had proved to be unreliable and he told Cronal to send his best men to the Imperial Palace. This angered Cronal but he bowed his head accepting the truth. Palpatine and Evanora then boarded the shuttle and flew back to the Imperial Palace awaiting the arrival of Cronal’s best prophets. On the shuttle Palpatine revealed that he had caused the Time Stone to fluctuate so the Ancient One would sense it and that he was going to test her to see if she could track it down and watch over it until an unprecedented time. Palpatine knew where it was of course but used the opportunity to test his Empress's loyalty to him.

### Evanora Goes To Earth

Evanora went to Earth bringing Cronal’s best prophets with her and taking control of Malfoy Manor when she arrived. While on Earth she met up with Voldemort and the two worked tirelessly to track down the Time Stone. Eventually Evanora discovered the Time Stone was in the library of Kamar Taj and was being guarded by the Ancient One. When Evanora met the Ancient One she discovered that the sorceress supreme was her great great grandmother and that the stone had in fact been protected by a long bloodline of Sorcerer and Sorceress Supreme before she gave it to Ozroar. Little did the Ancient One know before arriving on Earth, Palpatine had told her that he had caused the events to happen and that her job was to watch over the Time Stone and ensure that it fell into the hands of Thanos when the time was right.

### Back in Kamar-Taj

For the next two years the Eye remained in the library protected by the Ancient One and Evanora. Evanora never attempted to steal it however as Palpatine had told her not to, which would be dangerous and it was better to simply keep tabs on it. Evanora did as ordered.

### Strange's Training

*"You weren't manipulating the space-time continuum, you were breaking it!"*
―Wong to Doctor Strange[src]
Having read one of the passages in the Book of Cagliostro about the Eye, Doctor Strange put on the pendent and tested its power on an apple, forwarding and reversing time on the object. He then used the Eye's power on the book, discovering and reading the stolen passages about the Dark Dimension and Dormammu. However, he stopped using its power as it began creating different alternate timelines, which Wong and Mordo warned against, because it could destroy the natural order.[1]

### Battle At the Hong Kong Sanctum

Strange later used the Eye to rewind time in Hong Kong, restoring its Sanctum, and bringing Wong back to life, until he was stopped by Kaecilius, causing all of time to stop before the Sanctum could be restored, thus allowing the Dark Dimension through. Strange flew into the Dark Dimension and activated the Eye. When he confronted Dormammu to parley, Dormammu killed him, but the Eye's power trapped them both in a time loop that would restart every time Strange died. Dormammu finally relented and accepted Strange's terms, withdrawing his attack on Earth and taking away his Zealots. With Dormammu gone, Strange returned the Eye to its place in Kamar-Taj feeling he was not ready to wield it yet. Wong agreed, stating that walking around with an Infinity Stone in plain sight is a bad idea.[1] However, Strange wore the Eye during his meeting with Thor.[3]

### Fight For the Infinity Stones and Destruction

*"It's a simple spell, but quite unbreakable."*
"Then I'll take it off your corpse!"

"You'll fine removing a dead man's spell troublesome."

"You'll only wish you were dead."

―Doctor Strange and Ebony Maw[src]
During the Black Order's arrival in New York City for the Time Stone, Doctor Strange attempted to use the Eye against Ebony Maw, but was restrained before he could activate it. As Maw attempted to grab the amulet, the Eye glowed with Eldritch Magic, burning his hand as Strange explained that he placed a protection spell over it that would hold even if he were killed. Maw decided to take Strange and the Eye to his Q-Ship, intending to torture him into giving up the Time Stone.[4]

#### Searching For A Solution

*"I went forward in time to view alternate futures, to see all the possible outcomes of the coming conflict."*
"How many did you see?"

"Fourteen million, six hundred five."

―Doctor Strange and Star-Lord[src]
Strange used the Eye again on Titan to review over 14 million possible outcomes of the impending battle against Thanos, revealing that there was only a single outcome where they were successful. Before Thanos arrived, as Iron Man, Spider-Man, and the Guardians of the Galaxy prepared themselves, Strange removed the Time Stone from the Eye of Agamotto, leaving the relic empty during the battle. After Thanos defeated Strange, he took and crushed the relic with his hand, revealing Strange's deception before tossing the sorcerer aside.[4]

## Capabilities

*"Temporal manipulations can create branches in time. Unstable dimensional openings, spacial paradoxes, time loops! You want to get stuck experiencing the same moment over and over again forever, or never having existed at all?"*
―Karl Mordo to Stephen Strange[src]
As the container of the Time Stone, the Eye of Agamotto allows its wielder to use the Infinity Stone's power without having to physically touch it. The eye itself is usually closed and must be opened via sorcery in order to access the stone. Eldritch Magic is shown to be one of the ways of tapping into the stone's power to harness it in the form of time manipulation spells.

Empowered by its Infinity Stone, the Eye has tremendous time-based powers, able to control the flow of time on a small or massive scale. In a smaller scale, the Time Stone allows the user to turn something back to its previous state or accelerate its time in order to apply changes that have not happened yet. At a large scale, the stone can rewind time to undo entire events, to the point that doing so can even bring a dead person back to life by rewinding time to a point prior to their death. If the user is interrupted while rewinding time, time freezes until the user resumes the spell. However, it appears that while able to create a copy of a torn object, to truly recreate said object are difficult, as while the prodigiously gifted Doctor Strange was able to create a reconstruction of the stolen pages of the Book of Cagliostro and read from it, he was unable to make it real and could only reveal what had been there before, although it is possible to accomplish this if the wielder has the sufficient skill, as Thanos, with the Time Stone, was capable of truly recreating the Mind Stone after it was destroyed by Wanda while simultaneously resurrecting Vision.

The Ancient One was able to use the Eye to peer through time to a limited extent and gain a degree of awareness of possible futures, suggesting that in addition to the Eye's control over the flow of time, it can also be used to grant a sorcerer a degree of clairvoyance should said sorcerer have the knowledge needed. Doctor Strange later gained the ability to do the same, using the Eye to peer into the future and see 14 million possibilities where he and his allies lost against Thanos and only one possibility of victory.

The Eye can also be used to set up a time loop, resetting its state and repeating an event infinitely until the wielder stops its effects. It appears skilled sorcerers, or perhaps users of powers from the Dark Dimension can, to an extent, subtract themselves to the effects of the stone, stopping the time reversal affecting oneself or noticing that one is stuck in a time loop.

It is noted by Wong and Karl Mordo that the use of the Eye is contrary to the natural order of things, and is extremely dangerous as it can break the natural flow of time and create alternate timelines and wielding the Eye without properly mastering its time-based powers can very well kill its wielder. With Wong's approval, it was placed back on its pedestal by Strange until he learns how to properly harness its powers.[1]
