As a result, he was forced to return the Cloak of Levitation to its ruined state but his later readings of tomes led to him learning of the existence of Enitharmon the Weaver. Strange then departed to find the unbelievable ancient and reclusive being located in another dimension where he found his home on a strange world and asked the Master Weaver to repair the Cloak. Enitharmon agreed to do so and said he would name his price upon completion of the task.
