Synopsis for "The Art of Puking Without Puking"
Doctor Strange meets with all of the Earth's most prominent magicians in the Bar With No Doors, where they have all gathered because they have felt the disturbances in magic. He explains to all of them the on going odd occurrences, how magic seems to be disappearing and how the Sorcerers Supreme of all the other dimensions seem to have been killed. The group agrees to watch out for whatever is coming and contact each other as they gain more information.
Later, while organizing his mystic tomes in his sanctum, the Doctor with Zelma Stanton gets nauseous due to his use of magic and contemplates on how every use of magic comes with a cost. After being refreshed by food he enters a doorway that leads to the bottom of the Indian Ocean where the Temple of Watoomb lies. All of the Temple's magic has been drained, and as Strange is investigating he is attacked by a mechanical monster which he realizes is sucking away magic. While he is fighting the machine he gets a call from Zelma informing him that all the books in his library are dying. Strange defeats the monster and broadcasts a message to all magicians of his dimension, letting them know that the magic-hunting threat has already reached Earth. As he broadcasts this message, the Doctor is surrounded by a pack of Witchfinder Wolves.
