Gee, that would be nice, wouldn't it? :-)

If one wanted to get picky, I really just thought that it would be a neat
idea if she were to become his apprentice. I wasn't putting it on the level
of a prediction. Claremont has made it known (actually, it was in the
MARVEL HANDBOOK, but the info most likely ultimately came from Claremont)
that magic is indeed part of Ororo's ancestral heritage. And, indeed, in
MAGIK #3, it's a mohawked Storm that's fighting Belasco, so evidently, she
*does* learn sorcery. It seems obvious that Strange would be the best place
to learn it, but again, it was more idle wish than anything else.

Except that she may well end up learning her arcane heritage from some old
shaman from her ancestral tribe.
