Wanda absolutely wrecks the assembled sorcerers at Kamar-Taj, though the unhinged peak of the sequence occurs when Strange attempts to trap Wanda in a reflective magic prison to stop her rampage.

Wanda ends up breaking out by turning the glass prison to water, at which point Strange instructs the surviving sorcerers to cover any reflective surface to stop Wanda from escaping.

They're too late, though, as Wanda manages to horrifyingly pull herself through a large mirror, in a manner extremely reminiscent of the iconic The Ring horror movies, where antagonist Sadako drags herself through a TV screen in similar fashion.

The jerky movements and nauseating bone contortions make for one of the most gnarly shots in all of the MCU, executed with typically mesmeric panache by director Sam Raimi.
