Raistlin is one of my favourite Dragonlance characters and is a classic example of an "Anti-Hero"..what do I know about him..hmm...long list lol
- Youngest person ever to take, and pass the Test of High Sorcery ( though he did have help, from his future self after having taken the place of the great Black Mage, Fistandantilus)
- Has a twin brother, Caramon who is in every way his opposite.
- Was extremely frail, suffering from a debilitating cough which could only be eased with an herbal potion ( This cough was indeed magical in nature, put upon him by the head of the Orders of High Sorcery, the White-Robe Par-Salian)
- Had an Unholy Alliance with the Great Green Wyrm, Cyan Bloodbane
- Became "Master of Past and Present" through an intricate Time-travel related plot.
- Tried to destroy the World after having defeated the Queen of Darkness, Takhisis ( it was later repaired through more time related things.
I'm gonna stop there as people would have no reason to go out and read any of the..ohh..20 or so books with him as a character. lol

From what I've read Cyan Bloodbane served Raistlin because he controlled a Dragon Orb and, can you tell me, Ashurr, how could Cyan Bloodbane become Dracolich when he was killed by Mina and Queen Takhisis not Dracolich Potion?

Not possible according to D&D rules...but then again, when it comes to Godly interference anything goes.

- Youngest person ever to take, and pass the Test of High Sorcery ( though he did have help, from his future self after having taken the place of the great Black Mage, Fistandantilus)
that help was giving him golden spell resistant skin so he could defeat a few dark elves, then ripping out a piece of his soul causing him to be more frail than he already was and causing his magical debilitating cough. Par-Salian gave him his cursed eyes trying to teach him patience. I hate Par-Salian!
