The Montessi Formula
Doctor Strange:…Even for as practiced a sorcerer as myself, there is danger! But in this case, it is a danger worth taking!Nosmo cobis…holo erasma rabis….The words sound vaguely Latin—but, in truth, the language predates Mankind by millennia!
Fragments of this incantation were discovered years ago by an aged monk named Montessi. Uttered within close proximity of a vampire, even by one unschooled in the mystic arts, it would cause the unliving creature’s total obliteration.
But Doctor Strange is Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme, and he has the complete incantation! He shall not suffer a vampire to live!
