He has mastered the secrets of time travel, planar travel, and godhood. He can also communicate telepathically and sense the presence of magic. Weaknesses: Raistlin's physical health is very poor, as he suffers from a chronic cough and frequent bouts of fever. He is also vulnerable to cold iron, which can disrupt his magic. His ambition and pride often lead him to make enemies and betray his allies. He is also haunted by his past deeds and regrets. Personality: Raistlin is intelligent, cunning, sarcastic, and ruthless. He has a thirst for power and knowledge that drives him to seek greater challenges and secrets. He is often cold and aloof, showing little compassion or empathy for others.

He inherited his mother's aptitude for magic and was taken to study under Master Theobald at the age of six. He later passed the Test of High Sorcery at the Tower of Wayreth, where he gained his golden skin and hourglass eyes as a result of a bargain with the archmage Fistandantilus. He joined the Heroes of the Lance in their quest to stop the evil goddess Takhisis from conquering Krynn during the War of the Lance. After the war, he became obsessed with challenging Takhisis for her position in the pantheon of gods, and traveled back in time to the Age of Dreams with his brother Caramon and his friend Tasslehoff. There, he attempted to enter the Abyss and usurp Takhisis's power, but was ultimately thwarted by his brother and his own conscience. He remained trapped in the Abyss for many years, until he returned briefly to Krynn before the Second Cataclysm. He then departed with the gods when they struck their bargain with Chaos in 383 AC. Interests: Raistlin is interested in anything that can increase his power and knowledge, such as ancient lore, arcane secrets, forbidden magic, and divine mysteries. He is also fascinated by time and its effects on people and things. He enjoys reading books, studying spells, solving puzzles, and playing chess. Daily habits: Raistlin spends most of his time studying magic and preparing spells. He rarely sleeps or eats, as he considers them a waste of time. He often meditates or practices his magic in solitude. He occasionally visits his brother Caramon or his apprentice Dalamar for advice or assistance.

He is fond of his friend Tasslehoff for his loyalty and curiosity, but also finds him annoying and childish. He has a mentor-student bond with Fistandantilus and Dalamar, but also competes with them for power and secrets. Enemies: Raistlin has made many enemies throughout his life, both mortal and divine.
