Synopsis for "The Unbearable Lightness of Being!"
Dormammu has taken over Doc's body and calls the other black sorcerers to follow him. Doc, Clea, and Topaz fight Dormammu so that Doc can have his own body back.
Incantations include: O, thou bride, mother, crone -- The blood of the Earth and the milk of heaven -- By all that rises and converges and falls in thy sight, O adorable one -- hear me! In this hour of danger, horrible danger from without. I pray you rise up against it! Bestir your eternal forces to our aid! In the depths we cry to you: Maia, Gaea, Dea!
