According to you, both Agatha and Sinister Strange should scale to High 3A with the Darkhold? Wouldn’t mainstream Strange theoretically scale from Sinister Strange as well?
An article on Marvel's website about dreamwalking indicates that the extent of how much magic can actually be used from the Darkhold depends on the power of the sorcerer using it:
In addition to that, not just anyone who wields the Darkhold can cast the dreamwalking spell. “It’s a spell that maybe only Wanda and Strange are the only sorcerers in existence strong enough to even do it,” stressed Waldron. “It’s nearly impossible. And as Mordo said, it’s impossible to hold for a very long time. There’s a reason that Wanda doesn’t just stay living in that body. You see it on her; it takes such intense concentration even for The Scarlet Witch to maintain that dreamwalk. It’s a mentally, physically exhausting spell. It’s a dirty one; it’s in the back pages of the Darkhold.”
This statement implies that both Strange and Wanda are the only sorcerers strong enough to fully use the Darkhold. Sinister Strange is comparable to Mainstream Strange.
If we apply what @ActuallySpaceMan42 said, it’s reasonable to assume that Sinister Strange could achieve the same power level since it’s not a baseline but tied to the Darkhold’s amplification.
Honestly, I’m pretty confused about this, and the whole topic seems pretty controversial. I think I’ll wait and see what others have to say.
