History
Origin[]
The Sands of Nisanti were created in the Earth Dimension by an unnamed Earth magician.[2]
Modern Age[]
The Sands of Nisanti were invoked by Nicodemus West to battle Doctor Strange, once Strange had proven to greatly surpass him in the ways of magic. Confident of his physical and martial superiority, Nicodemus was severely defeated, and accidentally fell off the rooftop. Strange was unable to stop his fall because of the Sands of Nisanti's power still being active.[1]
They were later used by the Blasphemy Cartel against Clea Strange, Sorcerer Supreme, when she pursued them, before they rained bullets on her, thinking her defenseless. Because Clea drew magics from the Dark Dimension, she wasn't fully affected and was able to stop the bullets, and defeated them.[2]
