He had a natural aptitude for magic as a young man, but clearly survived and benefitted from Fistandantilus. Let’s examine if Raistlin Majere was a warlock. You can buy Towers of high Sorcery here: https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/2940/towers-of-high-sorcery-3-5?affiliate_id=50797  

If there’s one character who bends the rules of magic on Krynn, it’s Raistlin Majere. But what if the greatest wizard in Dragonlance history… wasn’t purely a wizard at all? What if his unparalleled power came, at least in part, from a dark pact that echoes the mechanics of a D&D Warlock?

Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. My name is Adam, and today we’re diving deep into a fascinating theory: Was Raistlin Majere secretly a Warlock? I’d like to thank the DLSaga YouTube members and Patreon Patrons, and invite you to consider becoming a member or patron. You can also grab Dragonlance media through my affiliate links. This discussion pulls from the Chronicles & Legends novels, Dragonlance sourcebooks, and D&D 5th Edition 2024 rules, particularly the Warlock class from the Player’s Handbook. As always, if I miss details or get something wrong, let me know in the comments.

To understand this theory, we first need a quick refresher on how magic works in Dragonlance. Arcane magic on Krynn is tied to the three moons of magic: Solinari for White Robes and good-aligned wizards, Lunitari for Red Robes and neutrality, and Nuitari for Black Robes and evil. Wizards must take the grueling Test of High Sorcery, swear allegiance to one order, and draw power through rigorous study, meditation, and devotion to the moons’ gods. It’s a scholarly, disciplined path—very much like the classic D&D Wizard class, relying on Intelligence, spellbooks, and long preparation.

Raistlin starts firmly in this tradition. He wears the white robe of his instructor and his early life is all about mastering the craft through intellect and observation. But everything changes during his Test of High Sorcery in the Tower at Wayreth.

At the climax of the Test—the youngest mage ever to take it—Raistlin faces what seems like certain death against a powerful dark elf illusion. That’s when the spirit of Fistandantilus appears. This ancient, infamous archmage—known as the Dark One—offers Raistlin a bargain: immediate power to defeat the elf and survive the Test, in exchange for a steady drain on Raistlin’s life force. Raistlin, ever ambitious, accepts without hesitation.

The deal transforms him physically and magically. His skin turns golden (providing resistance to spells), his hair goes white, his eyes become hourglass-shaped (letting him see the ravages of time on all things), and he’s cursed with a chronic, debilitating cough. But he gains immense power in the moment, and Fistandantilus’s essence lingers within him, subtly feeding him knowledge and strength for years to come.

Now, let’s shift to D&D 5th Edition 2024 mechanics. The Warlock class is defined by one thing: a pact with a powerful otherworldly patron. Warlocks don’t grind through spellbooks like wizards—they gain their magic through a binding agreement with entities like fiends, archfey, celestials, Great Old Ones, or undying beings. In exchange for power, they often give up something: loyalty, service, life essence, or even their soul.

Some Key Warlock features include: Pact Magic: Spell slots that recharge on a short rest, not a long rest. Eldritch Invocations: Customizable magical abilities that feel like built-in perks from the patron. A subclass based on the patron type, granting themed spells and abilities. Often, the pact is sealed through a direct bargain, especially with Fiend or Undying patrons.

Raistlin’s deal with Fistandantilus fits this template almost perfectly. Fistandantilus is an undying archmage—a lich-like figure who extended his life by draining others via his Bloodstone and even bargained with Takhisis herself. He qualifies easily as an Undying Patron (from the Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide) or a Fiend Patron. The bargain is explicit: power now for life force over time. Post-pact, Fistandantilus inhabits Raistlin like a possessive patron, granting boosts during critical moments—helping him master the Dragon Orb in Silvanesti, providing insights in Skullcap, and accelerating his overall arcane growth.

This “patron” influence explains Raistlin’s meteoric rise. A normal wizard progresses steadily, but Raistlin goes from novice to the most powerful mage on Krynn in mere years, absorbing Fistandantilus’s ancient knowledge. It’s like gaining levels in Warlock on top of his Wizard base, with the patron providing “invocations” in the form of enhanced resilience and forbidden lore.

We see the patron dynamic play out further in the Legends trilogy. When Raistlin travels back in time, he apprentices under the living Fistandantilus, learns his secrets, and ultimately defeats him in a magical duel—absorbing the archmage’s essence completely. This flips the script: the “warlock” overpowers and consumes his patron, becoming the Master of Past and Present. It’s a classic tale of a Warlock who outgrows or betrays their patron, wielding its power against it.

There are other Warlock parallels too. Raistlin’s golden skin acts like a permanent magical ward—similar to the Undying patron’s features that defy death and decay. His hourglass eyes give him a unique perception of time, evoking Chronurgy Wizard elements but also the alien insights some patrons grant. And his addictive thirst for power mirrors how many Warlocks are portrayed: always chasing the next boon from their patron, even as it destroys them.

But here’s where the theory hits its limits—Raistlin is still, at his core, a wizard. He meticulously studies spellbooks every day. He relies on the moons for high-level magic. He wields the Staff of Magius, a classic wizard artifact. His spellcasting is Intelligence-based, rooted in arcane theory, not the Charisma-driven pact magic of Warlocks. The Fistandantilus deal enhances him but doesn’t replace his foundational wizardry. He never gets short-rest spell slots or true invocations; his power surges come from artifacts, study, and the lingering patron essence.

In modern D&D terms, the best way to build Raistlin is as a multiclass: primarily Wizard (maybe School of Divination or Chronurgy for the time themes), with a few levels in Warlock—Undying or Fiend subclass—to represent the pact’s boost. This captures the hybrid nature: scholarly depth plus a dark bargain for extra edge. A pure Warlock build would miss his vast spell repertoire and intellectual arrogance.

Other characters in fantasy have similar “warlock-ish” elements—think of Anakin Skywalker’s fall or Gandalf’s ring of power—but Raistlin’s story is uniquely tragic because the pact fuels his fatal flaw: ambition bordering on addiction. It costs him his health, strains his relationships (especially with Caramon), and nearly dooms Krynn. Yet without it, he might never have become the fulcrum that defeated Takhisis.

So, is Raistlin Majere a Warlock? Strictly speaking, no—he’s a wizard who made one fateful, devilish bargain that supercharged his destiny. But viewing him through the Warlock lens adds a thrilling layer, highlighting the cost of forbidden power and making him even more compelling for D&D adaptations.

That’s my take on whether Raistlin Majere could be considered a Warlock. Do you buy the theory? Would you play him as a Warlock multiclass in your game? Does the Fistandantilus pact change how you see his redemption? Leave your thoughts below.

Welcome to Dungeon Mastering 101, my Dungeon Mastering course based on over 30 years of experience. In this series I will share my failures and successes and the lessons learned along the way. In this episode, I will cover Core Foundations: What a Dungeon Master Actually Does.

Welcome to another DragonLance Saga, Dungeon Mastering 101 episode! It is Palast, Newkolt the 5th, my name is Adam, and today I am continuing my Dragonlance Gaming series all about Dungeon Mastering. When most people think about being a Dungeon Master, they imagine rules mastery, monster stat blocks, or elaborate worldbuilding binders. But here’s the truth:

None of those things define what a Dungeon Master actually does. Dungeon Mastering isn’t about knowing everything. It isn’t about control. And it certainly isn’t about telling your story. At its core, being a DM is about facilitating a shared experience between very different people — and doing it with intention. Welcome to Dungeon Mastering 101.

Don’t forget to like and subscribe to this channel, ring the bell, and you can support this channel by becoming a Patron on Patreon, a Member of this YouTube channel, and you can pick up Dragonlance media, using my affiliate links. All links are in the description below.

The first misconception new DMs struggle with is this: “I’m responsible for the story.” You’re not.

The Dungeon Master is not the hero, not the main character, and not the author of a finished narrative. Your role is to create situations, not outcomes. Your players:

You provide the structure that allows those choices to matter. Once you let go of the need to control the story, your games immediately improve.

A Dungeon Master wears many hats, but most of what you do falls into five core roles.

You keep the game moving. This means:

A facilitator doesn’t rush players — but also doesn’t let momentum die. Your job is to keep the shared experience alive.

You interpret rules and make calls. Not perfectly — consistently. Rules exist to support play, not interrupt it. When something is unclear:

Fairness matters more than precision.

You describe the environment and its reactions. The world speaks through:

You don’t tell players what to think — you tell them what happens when they act. A living world responds.

You decide who gets attention and when. This is subtle, but critical:

When everyone feels seen, trust forms. When trust forms, engagement follows.

Your energy sets the emotional temperature of the table.

 Calm → calm
Excited → excited
Tense → tense

Players take their cues from you more than you realize.  Managing your own reactions is one of the most important DM skills you’ll ever develop.

Understanding what you don’t do is just as important. A DM is not:

Conflict exists within the world — not between you and the players. You succeed when the table succeeds.

Most of what a DM does boils down to making decisions under pressure. Every moment behind the screen asks:

You don’t need perfect answers — you need timely ones. Confidence comes from decisiveness, not encyclopedic knowledge.

Here is the balance every DM must learn: You are responsible for:

You are not responsible for:

Great Dungeon Masters respect player agency — even when it leads somewhere unexpected.

Every player arrives with:

Your role is not to flatten those differences, but to work with them. Dungeon Mastering is as much about reading people as it is about running a game system.

Being a Dungeon Master isn’t about mastery — it’s about presence. You:

When you understand what your role actually is, the pressure drops, the game flows, and the experience improves for everyone at the table. This is the foundation. Welcome to Dungeon Mastering 101.

She was told she could never be a knight. So she became a legend. Riva Silverblade trained in secret, slew dragons, wielded the dragonlance, and carried Solamnic honor from Ansalon to Taladas. This is the story of the Knight who proved courage has no limits. You can see readings of all DC Dragonlance comics here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-ZMN0IxDq3QY9hD0rB8n4JIETH-Czi8k 

In every age, there are knights born to banners… and there are knights who must carve their place into history with blood, steel, and unyielding will. This is the story of Riva Silverblade—

a woman who defied tradition, challenged destiny, and proved that courage recognizes no gender, no station, and no age.

Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. My name is Adam and today I am going to talk about Riva Silverblade, Knight of the Sword. I would like to take a moment and thank the DLSaga YouTube members and Patreon patrons, and invite you to consider becoming a member or patron, you can even pick up Dragonlance media using my affiliate links in the description below. I am referencing the Dragonlance DC Comics, Dragonlance Campaign Setting sourcebook and the Price of Courage adventure module for this information. If I leave anything out or misspeak, please leave a comment below!

Riva Silverblade was born Riva Silvercrown in 332 AC, within the cold stone halls of her father’s ancestral castle. Lord Silvercrown was a respected noble—firm in tradition, immovable in his beliefs—and like most of Solamnia, he believed knighthood was a path reserved for men. But from her earliest years, Riva dreamed of becoming a Knight of Solamnia.

She watched tournaments from the battlements. She listened to tales of Huma Dragonbane and Vinas Solamnus. And though denied sword, shield, and saddle, she trained in secret—practicing with stolen weapons, learning footwork and form until she was certain she could surpass many of her father’s sworn knights. In 344 AC, Lord Silvercrown hosted a tournament within his own keep. Disguised and unrecognized, Riva entered. She defeated every challenger.

When the victor removed her helm and revealed herself, the hall fell silent. Her triumph was undeniable… and so was her father’s fury. Though humiliated, Lord Silvercrown refused her knighthood. So Riva resolved to earn what tradition denied.

Seeking to prove her worth, Riva learned of a raid by Dark Dwarves upon Neidar merchants and rode to intervene alone. She was captured. Bound and helpless, Riva was offered as a sacrifice to a White Dragon. But her father, tracking her trail, arrived at the dragon’s lair. Together they fled as the cavern collapsed around them—stone shattering, flame roaring, death close at hand. In the chaos, the dragon was impaled upon Riva’s battle standard, dying amid the falling rock. Riva returned home not as a knight… …but with her father’s respect.

When Riva’s courage was again questioned, she climbed a mountain in search of a dragon’s egg—an act few dared attempt. She fell into a dragon’s nest…  and into a secret older than nations. There she encountered gnomes, holding dragon hatchlings captive in pursuit of treasure. Riva chose the hatchlings. She fought beside them—and was recognized by a Bronze Dragon as a dragon-friend. But the time was not yet right. Bound by the Oath of Neutrality, the dragon erased her memory of the encounter. Only her courage remained.

In 351 AC, Riva was rescued from hobgoblins by a young warrior named Sturm Brightblade. Their journey led them to a Temple of Majere, where Riva met Vandar Brightblade, Sturm’s uncle and a monk of deep conviction. When the Blue Dragonarmy descended, the temple was annihilated. Only Riva and Vandar survived.

From a hidden shed, Vandar revealed a weapon of legend—a dragonlance. Their path led to Castle Silvercrown, where betrayal awaited. Riva’s brother Marik revealed himself as a Sivak Draconian, murdering, taunting, and mocking before Riva struck him down—only to watch his body twist into her own likeness as he died. That night, Riva and Vandar shared the same dream. Lord Soth. Takhisis. And Temptation.

Riva raised the dragonlance against the Dark Queen herself. When the Dragonarmies attacked, Riva struck down a red dragon—but was no match for Kitiara uth Matar. Vandar died shielding a child. The dragonlance was taken. And Fizban revealed the truth: Riva had wielded a false lance. The real one had never been lost.

By the time Riva stood before the minotaurs of Nethosak, she was no longer merely Riva Silvercrown. She was Riva Silverblade— Knight of the Sword, champion of Paladine, and voice of Solamnic honor beyond Ansalon’s shores. Even when alliances failed, her resolve did not.

Summoned by Fizban, Riva was cast across the world to Taladas, a land broken by war and forgotten by gods. There, she slew a blue dragon, opposed traitorous minotaurs, freed captives, and became a symbol of hope among strangers who had none. She crossed shardstorms, elven caverns, and burning fields. She chose mercy when others chose fire.

And when a village punished a boy mage for a terrible mistake, Riva defied the law—saving him from death, even as fate claimed him anyway. In Taladas, Riva learned that righteousness does not always bring victory. Sometimes… it only ensures that goodness survives.

Decades later, weakened by poison and age, Riva fled draconians across Ansalon. Her dragon Ktarrh lay dead. Yet even then, Riva stood. She entrusted a scroll to Solamnic Knights astride bronze dragons—guiding them to victory one last time.

In her final years, Riva Silverblade became head knight of Castle Eastwatch, guarding Southern Ergoth with wisdom earned through sacrifice. She commanded not with arrogance—but with memory. She passed peacefully in 422 AC.

Riva Silverblade was never meant to be a knight. That is why she became one. Headstrong. Impulsive. Noble. She carried the courage of a dragon, and proved that honor is not inherited—It is earned.

And that is all I have to say about Riva Silverblade. Do you think she should have been given entrance into the Knighthood? Did you like her storyline largely taking place in Taladas? And finally, have you played Price of Courage and did you witness her final moments? Leave a comment below.

At some point, every Dungeon Master crosses a threshold. You’re no longer struggling to keep the game moving. The rules feel comfortable. Improvisation doesn’t scare you anymore. And yet — something still feels flat.

Advanced Dungeon Mastering isn’t about more prep or more complexity. It’s about intentional pressure, long-term payoff, and thinking beyond the current session. Welcome to DM201: Advanced Skills.

Beginner DMs think in scenes. Intermediate DMs think in sessions. Advanced DMs think in arcs. Your focus shifts from:

Advanced DMing is about shaping trajectory, not just content.

Consequences are what give player choice weight. Advanced consequences are:

When designing outcomes, ask:

A choice that changes nothing is not a choice.

Foreshadowing is not hinting — it is preparation. Effective Foreshadowing:

Plant:

When the payoff arrives, players should say, “We should have seen this coming.”

Advanced villains are not obstacles — they are counter-arguments. A compelling antagonist has:

Ask:

The best villains challenge the players ideologically, not just mechanically.

Advanced campaigns are not plotted — they are structured. Think in:

Useful structures:

Structure gives freedom meaning.

At an advanced level, player characters are not passengers — they are drivers. Use:

Weave character arcs into:

When the world responds to who the characters are, investment skyrockets.

Advanced play introduces more moving parts — but clarity is still king. Tools:

Complexity should emerge naturally, not all at once.

Advanced Dungeon Mastering is not about control — it is about cultivation. You plant seeds. You apply pressure. You watch what grows.

When you think in arcs, design for consequence, and trust your players to shape the world… you stop running games and start building legacies. Welcome to DM201.
