I wrote Super-Sorcery! shortly after seeing Doctor Strange myself, and "How can I make sure this system can emulate the movie?" was
definitely in my mind. :-)

Actually, it was Gateway of Worlds that got added, not Mystic Buckler - they're just alphabetized.

Alternatively, Strange could have been using extra effort to push his shields up to a level where they're actually useful against the stuff the Zealots were throwing around, and his shields flickering and going out could be a visual depiction of him running out of fatigue to power the boost.

DR without Tough Skin
does protect against Contact Agents, actually. However, DR without Force Field
doesn't protect your gear, or your eyes. Since the shields in Doctor Strange definitely covered gear and such, I felt Force Field was appropriate.
