"Teach you." He sighed and thought about it. Probably might get in trouble for it, and it might be worth it. "Very well, it's beyond portals and shields though. It's weapons, and knowing what energy you're pulling from to craft what you need in the moment. It's a lot of snap judgement, and here - in this universe - knowledge isn't forbidden, it's certain practices. The reason the Darkhold was forbidden is ... you're used as much as you use the book itself. There's also ... time. We don't have the time stone anymore, but - still one could use some of the spells, cause an incursion, even unknowingly. It takes years of study and practice, constantly knowing different battle techniques.
If your Mordo is anything like mine he won't approve."
"I'm not a complete stranger to the mystic arts." She brushes her thumb along his cheekbone, "I know what I'm asking. I also have a Sanctum's worth of books at my disposal."
And then she chuckles.
"Mordo can fuck off. He doesn't approve of anything. But he also spends weeks at a time in the London Sanctum."
"Be careful what you open. Start with Practical Sanskrit, as most of the spellbooks are written in it. Don't open the Book of Cagliostro until you're ready for it, read the warnings after the spells before you cast it, and don't try to Astral Project here, either. I'm sure there's other rules but that's why Wong is the Sorcerer Supreme of this universe."
He knows he's going to get in trouble for agreeing to this without consulting the Sorcerer Supreme but - Stephen knows Wong won't agree, and he won't like that an alternate version of Christine is visiting, either - so Stephen doesn't intend to reveal this until it's necessary.
"Don't immediately use the time stone? There goes all of my plans." She gives him a little look, "I will be fine Stephen. I'm not the reckless sort. Usually."
She did cross into another universe to see him, so a hint reckless.
"I'll be safe, I promise. Maybe someday I'll be the Sorcerer Supreme for my universe."
"You're here." Stephen was amused. "As for Sorcerer Supreme, don't tell Mordo. You'll also want a sling ring and be able to walk into the mirror dimension, so you can practice your spells in a place where you aren't disturbed. I wouldn't mind if you took mine, but we don't want an incursion - and considering an item of my universe in yours - it could."
"We have sling rings in my universe. They look at bit different from yours, but work almost exactly the same." It's entertaining to note all the little differences between their worlds.
"What do they look like?" Now Stephen was curious about this. "Don't tell me if you don't want to, but you know - caught without one isn't great - and it's happened to me a few times."
He should keep one at another place on his person but - that was always difficult.

Just like she's curious about all the little differences here.
"You still have the eye, but without the time stone?"
