Pride humbled, then a franchise. The humbling is the part that counts. Adults.
Strange's hands are the moral event. He was a man who would not take the hard case if it would not make him famous. Kamar-Taj offers a rule, a master, and a war against a devouring eternity. He learns enough to bargain cleverly at the end, which is both growth and the old vice in a new cloak. The Ancient One's lie about her power source is the film's best discomfort: institutions hide a theft to keep the work going.
Adults. Take the hospital scenes and the lesson that mastery is obedience to a craft. Leave the cape if it starts to be the character. A gift that does not make you useful to a patient was a performance.

If you are very good at something, practice one hour of it in which nobody knows it was you.

The eight
Industry
8/10
Surgery, then a discipline with hours and a library.
Household
2/10
No one at home. A colleague he scorned.
Piety
4/10
A borrowed mysticism. The useful part is submission to a teacher.
Courage
6/10
He goes back into the fight after he has been reduced.
Republic
4/10
A secret order protecting a world that did not elect it.
Temperance
5/10
His ego is the subject. It is dented, not gone.
Truth
6/10
The master's hypocrisy is exposed. Good.
Stewardship
5/10
A protectorate, abstractly. He is not yet a man who stays with one patient.
