Come now, with a little latitude, that's exactly the origins of Magik,
and the Scarlet Witch! <!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

So what you really want out of life is for super powered beings to get
amped up repeatedly until they're powerful beyond belief. They
already did that with Superman.

Ok lets say an enemy of the XMen is too strong for them and the enemy
hurts Beast, he ends up on doorstep of his friend Dr. Strange, who heals
him thru magic, and Beast asks him to strengthen his mutant power beyond
what he could get thru regular mutation, thru magic Dr. Strange could
fix it so Beast can use his powers in many different ways, then he kicks
enemy butt!

Why not? Magic is just as much a part of Marvel Earth as mutants.

Pretty much the same feeling. Since X-Men Forever outright stated that
human mutation is what will make up the next universe, I can't see how
magic could do any more.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I think with Wanda, her powers just work best with natural substances -
just like magic. As for Illyana, her teleportation powers somehow
linked with Limbo, but probably because she was there and learning to
use the power of that realm. Even so, what you're saying is
considerably different than what George is suggesting. (I realize you know
this from your smilely, but his ideas really are inane.)<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

It's happened with plenty of characters. Once they're all so powerful,
then what? I suppose they'll be so powerful that their battles will be
purely abstract and we'll just get to look a blank pages. Yippee!<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Or, he could just make use of teamwork, and call upon his teammates and
allies without warping him into an "Entity".<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Beast's mutation is strength, super senses, and a non-human physiology. How
would magic make him use these powers in different ways? I can see him
becoming stronger, but different?
Do you want Dr. Strange to give him a different set of powers are the
ability to detach his claws and use them as projectiles? Cover his enemies
in nasty, giant furballs?
