Spellbook As the Master of the Tower of Palanthas, Raistlin has access to all common and unnamed
spells from the Player’s Handbook, DRAGONLANCE Campaign, Setting and other d20 DRAGONLANCE
sourcebooks.

Black Robe Order Secrets (Su):

Magic of Darkness 3/day:(half the damage dealt by a chosen spell is negative energy damage)

Magic of Fear (as full round action, cast any spell that deals damage and is normally a standard action in
order to demoralize one target within 30 ft., Intimidate check gains bonus equal to spell level), Magic of
Pain 3/day (spell that deals hit point damage causes target to suffer –2 penalty to attack rolls, skill
checks, and ability checks for 1 round,
Fort save DC 10 plus spell level negates, caster takes 1d6 damage).

High Arcana: Arcane fire, mastery of counterspelling (countered spells are turned back upon the caster),
mastery of elements (change energy descriptor of spell cast), mastery of shaping (may create holes or
unaffected areas within the area of spells cast), spell power +1. Raistlin has permanently sacrificed one
5thlevel, one 6th-level, one 7th-level, one 8th-level and one 9th-level spell slots to master these
abilities.

Lore (Ex): A loremaster can know legends or information regarding various topics, just as a bard can. The
loremaster makes a lore check with a +15 bonus.

Master of the Tower Traits: Raistlin may prepare one bonus spell per level from the Knowledge, Magic
or Necromancy cleric domains as arcane spells when he prepares his other spells at the Tower, and gains
spell resistance 23 within the Tower of Palanthas.

Staff of Magius
This +2 spell-storing quarterstaff was made famous by the legendary wizard Magius, but truly came into
its own through its use by Raistlin Majere. The staff grants the bearer spell resistance 23, a +6 deflection
bonus to AC, and any spell cast by the bearer with the mind-affecting, air, or light descriptors may be
extended, empowered, or enlarged as if the staff were a greater metamagic rod. Only one metamagic
effect may be used on any given spell, but each effect may be used up to three times per day without
altering the level of the spell. In addition to its spell-storing quality, an archmage with the arcane fire
ability may deliver his arcane fire damage through the staff as a melee touch attack. The staff has the
following additional powers usable at will—feather fall (on the bearer only), daylight (on the staff). CL
18th.

Aura of Corruption (Su): As a result of years of experiments in dark magic, Fistantandilus is surrounded
by a chill aura of death that causes plants to wither in his presence, food to spoil, and animals to

checks involving animals or influencing individuals in a positive manner.
