Darkhold

Cinematic, Comics

A book of dark magic transcribed from spells carved by the demon Chthon, with at least two copies. One copy was found by the Bauers in 2012 and ended up with S.H.I.E.L.D., then Aida and Ghost Rider, and later Morgan le Fay. Agatha Harkness owned another, which she brought to Westview in 2023 before Wanda Maximoff took it. Wanda destroyed every copy in the multiverse.
