Doctor Strange is Marvel's master of sorcery, but while he uses a ring to open portals, there is an explanation in the MCU for the tool.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Doctor Strange uses rings to open portals in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and he has good reason to make use of his nifty tool of magic. Benedict Cumberbatch's Sorcerer Supreme first debuted in the MCU in 2016's Doctor Strange, and has gone on to become one of the franchise's most recognizable characters.
True to his title of the Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange is the MCU's master of magic, able to cast spells, wield ethereal energy, and even open portals to swiftly cross to other parts of the world or other dimensions. The MCU has also shown Doctor Strange's ring is an essential tool in his ability to open portals, with Peter and his friends able to use to do the same in No Way Home.
Mordo's words suggest that, compared to a standard spell or even an energy blast, opening a portal requires a great deal more focus as well as physical and mental exertion on the part of the sorcerer doing so. It also indicates that, while it still technically possible for a sorcerer to open a portal freehand, the rings worn by Doctor Strange and others alleviates the pressure and strain inherent in opening portals.
Other Spell-Casting Relics In The MCU Doctor Strange's portal opening ring is hardly the only relic used for wielding magic in the MCU, and the first Doctor Strange introduces a few itself. Mordo himself uses relics like the Wand of Watoomb and Vaulting Boots of Valtorr in Doctor Strange, each of which carries its own magical properties and is applicable for different kinds of spells.
The Eye of Agamotto grants the user the power to travel into the past, create time loops, and see different alternate realities that represent potential futures. Avengers: Infinity War would reveal the Eye of Agamotto to be one of the six Infinity Stones, specifically the Time Stone, so its alien origin makes it a bit different from tools of magic found on Earth.
