[3rd POV]
The decision to finally start Wanda 616's chaos magic training was not taken lightly. And Wanda had to make sure that there was preparations completed in order to properly accommodate for that training.
The meditation room was perfect for training the mind, and obtaining control over the power within. But it was not enough to handle the actual power itself, to learn how to push out enough, and to learn what the power itself was actually capable of.
Her counterpart had a rough idea what she could do, thanks to the books she had read, and the times she had seen Wanda use the power, but she didn't truly feel what the power is akin to. She had never touched upon her true potential, her true power, but now she would.
And Wanda was going to make sure of it.
Which is why she had specially made an entirely new dimension, one that is specifically made for the chaos magic that Wanda of Earth 616 would be using. This dimension made it so that none of the chaos magic could negatively affect anyone in the surroundings, this included Wanda 616 herself.
Wanda had made it this way so that Pietro could come and watch if he wanted to. That way he can make sure that his sister was safe while practicing her power. Wanda knew how worried he was for his sister, with her being inside of the bookstore more and more frequently, taking all the training that she possibly could.
It was training that she absolutely needed, but that did not mean that he could not worry for her. He would always for her, as a brother should.
Besides the dimension making it so that everyone would be safe from the backlash of the chaos magic, and blocking it from harming anyone, the dimension also had a few other abilities.
For one, it would increase the training and learning speeds for those that come there that could utilize Chaos magic. In this case, it was Wanda from Earth 616. The increase in training speeds was quite large at that, around 3x faster than what she would normally be capable of.
The second trait of the dimension that Wanda had created, is that it granted Wanda 616 immortality while inside. Basically meaning that she could not accidentally die from anything or anyone. This wasn't really needed, but it was a built in backup just in case something happened involving her power, or something else.
The third trait of the dimension was that it purified her every time she had entered the dimension. This purification was done in order to cleanse any rot that was placed upon her soul, more specifically, outside influences. In this case, that applied to entities like Mephisto and other worms that tried stuff.
Wanda didn't like entities trying to invade where they did not belong. She'd be killing them and absorbing their power anyways, but she wanted to make sure. She didn't want to have to deal with them much longer than needed.
Wanda 616 was quite fond of the new dimension, as she felt very warm and happy when she entered the place. The dimension itself was calming for her, and almost seemed to make her happier every time she entered.
She knew that her counterpart had done something to the place that was affecting her mentally, but she decided against complaining about it. Complaining would not change anything, and that her counterpart was just trying to help her.
Which is why she was currently in said dimension, breathing in deeply as a scarlet aura of magic and power curled around her. The power of the chaos magic warping the surroundings.
"Hmmm, good, it would seem that your meditation has helped you obtain a mediocre level of control over it. Enough that you can start the next step, which is pushing that power outwards, and using it to bring forth the effects that you want" Wanda said, a small smile on her face, proud at the growth.
"Effects? What sort of effects?" Wanda 616 questioned, she had a decent amount of training with Agatha, but none of that was comparable to this. And it was like she had to restart when she started to learn from her bookstore counterpart.
But she could already tell that the restart had done her some good.
"Reality warping kinds. Changing elements, warping the surroundings to your will, and bending reality itself to your will. It will be minor in the beginning, so that you can learn the intricate nature of the power, and learn the most important part of this power over all" Wanda said, trailing off as Wanda 616 looked at her curiously.
"And what is that?" Wanda 616 asked, wondering if it was control like she had been trained, or something else.
"Creativity. Creativity is the absolute strongest and most important part of using this power. With enough imagination and creativity, you can do anything. Your power relies on it, as you can conjure and make just about anything with your power. That is why you need to learn to be creative, to be imaginative" Wanda explained, as her counterpart looked surprised at the answer.
Creativity was something that even she needed. As without it, she never would have thought of creating entire dimensions in her home, or creating half the things she had that made her surroundings so special. Without creativity, she would not be what she is today.
Which is why Wanda 616 needed to learn creativity.
"Creativity? That's...not what I was expecting to be honest. I thought you'd say something like knowledge or something more...interesting" Wanda 616 said as she stared at her counterpart.
"Trust me, imagination, creativity, or whatever you wish to call it, is incredibly important to the training of chaos magic. For chaos is almost akin to that of impossible, incredible, ever changing imagination given form, impossibility and creativity. There is...more to it, but that is the simplest way to put it. And thanks to that, I'm going to give you some tasks to complete, homework of a sort" Wanda said, as she reached into her pocket, before pulling out a disk.
"Watch this when you get home. I trust that the contents inside of it will help you obtain some creative sense" Wanda said, handing her counterpart a disk. Wanda 616 looked a little confused, as the disk had nothing on it that showed her what was inside of it.
"What's in it?"
"You'll see when you watch it. Trust me, it'll be enjoyable" Wanda said, inwardly smiling.
The disk in front of her had a number of different shows. The first of them being a neat little show called "Owl House" which Wanda thought her counterpart could enjoy, as the magic inside of it should be easily replicable with Chaos magic. There was also One Piece, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Wars (The trilogy and prequel), Doctor Who (New Who), and a few other shows.
These shows would have anything that she could need in terms of creativity. At least for a start. There were others that would probably work better, but it was best that she started off with some simpler things. Well...somewhat.
Doctor Who might be a risky one to show her, but Wanda was sure it was fine...probably.
"You know...I've got to ask, how did you become this strong?" Wanda 616 asked, having not gotten an explanation on that one yet.
"A number of ways. Training, learning, and traveling. But the biggest one is age, I've lived for a lot longer than you have, and have experienced far more than you can ever imagine. And thanks to this, I have become capable of doing...well, just about anything. I just have to imagine it happening, and my power will make it happen" Wanda responded with a simple smile, as they began to make their way downstairs, deciding that that was enough training for the day.
Wanda 616 glanced at her with a raised eyebrow.
"How old are you? You don't look any older than me" Wanda 616 questioned, very curious. The more that the bookstore owner talked, the more curious she was about her past and the things she has seen and done.
"It's rude to ask someone their age. But since you asked nicely I'll answer. In terms of a number, I am not entirely sure to be honest. But I know for certain that I am far older than your universe, making me billions of years old" Wanda responded, as this was the truth.
Beyond the other beings that made up her being, her time in the void was FAR longer than it seemed, and she was very certain she had been there for many many many years.
Wanda 616 glanced at her counterpart with wide eyes, as they walked into the bookstore section of the building.
"Best not to question it. As there are some things I will not be explaining" Wanda said with a calm smile on her face, as her counterpart could only stare for a few more moments.
"So, is there anything else you'd like before you leave, or is that all?" Wanda asked, as her counterpart shook her head.
"No, I am quite alright. Thank you though, and...thank you for...well, all of this" Wanda 616 said with a thankful expression.
"It's not a problem, dear" Wanda said, as her new friend smiled at her, before walking off. And as she walked her leave, Wanda had one thought on her mind.
'Speaking of creativity...perhaps a new universe is in order!'
