    It’s been a decade or three since I read dragonlance but Raistlin was my favorite of the group.

    His outcome from his test left him fucked yea… And he seemingly got the raw end of the deal… Except for somehow binding his soul to Fistandantulus making him essentially harnessing the power of one of the strongest mages of all time or something…

    So yeah can only see death and decay but gained immense power and he craved that so no decision for him

    His test. Yeah his twin was the brawn and after nearly dying in his trails the masters made it appear as if his strong swordsman brother was also magical - and saved the day via magic - forcing him into a rage and killing the image of his brother. So yea a bit of jealousy lol

    Adult me would probably laugh at the characters now, but Raistlin was easily the most flushed out character that wasn’t bland as all get out - looking at you Tannins Half Elven

      I listened to the audio book recently to see if it held up. I found myself appreciating characters I did not originally and disliking Tanis for different reasons than I disliked him originally.
