In the character profile it says that he has acquired golden skin, which offers him strong protection against magical attack. Can anyone cite that? I was under the impression that the gold skin was due to the strin put on his body during the Test of High Sorcery and/or the pact made with Fistandantilus during the Test and didn't offer him any protection.

Soulforge specifically states during Rasitlin's test that Fistandantilus gave Raist the gold skin as armor against the fireball the dark elf threw at him —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.174.83.232 ( talk) 04:37, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
There is a redirect, but no explanation given. Someone should fix that, I believe. 178.49.18.203 ( talk) 15:34, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
This sentence appears in the character section. It's accurate, and I do not dispute it whatsoever, I'm just wondering if it could be reworded so that it doesn't sound so opiniony. Can we find something from the books, some reference, to make it more solid. I'll keep looking, but I figured I'd ask. "It could be said that Raistlin's magic is a compensation for the things that he feels he can never have. He nurses his magic, because it gives him a sense of satisfaction, a sense of self-worth, that he the frail, weak, ridiculed, detested brother has something to which he and he alone can claim superiority. To maintain this sense of self-satisfaction however, he must attain greater and greater levels of mastery in his art in order to feel at peace with himself."

Under the "Other Media" section, "Soulforge gambeook" and "Dragonlance movie" are fine, but the "Music" and "Comic" sections are completely unsourced. As for the "Music" section, I have no idea what any of those bands, songs, and people mentioned are, so if anyone has any good sources please put them in. For the "Comic" section, if we at least had the original dates of publication, or a link to a website where the comics can be found, that would be awesome. Here is a website for the "Bob and George" comic, but as I have no idea when it was published I'm not sure where to look. http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/archives.php. Same with the "Something Positive" http://www.somethingpositive.net/archive.shtml. If I can't find any sources, it seems to me that they will have to be removed, as I want to bring this article up to GA-level, and we need solid sources for that.

It contains a plot summary that may be too long or overly detailed. Tagged since April 2008. Its factual accuracy is disputed. Tagged since June 2008.
These are problems that have been tagged for this page. I'm not personally too keen on the "factual accuracy" part, as from what I can see the information given in this article is pretty accurate, although I can see it saying that for now as the information DEFINITELY needs to be sourced. As for the too long part, I'm not sure if I agree with that, although I hope to take a closer look as soon as my college finals are over. If anyone else has any ideas, please let me know.

I have split "The Test and mercenary work" into two sections, and greatly expanded and re-wrote "The Test" section. Any thoughts? Vyselink ( talk) 01:06, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
This looks like a great source: Religious Concepts in Fantasy Literature. ISBN 9783640661428. Don't have time to sort it out right now, but wanted to link it for later use. — Torchiest talk edits 01:39, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Where was a merge discussion on this page ever held? I don't see one here... Jclemens ( talk) 03:08, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
If this article is to be kept and avoid an overly in-universe status, it needs to be trimmed. I think just about everything in these sections:
should be cut, then compressed down into one simplified history section. The character profile probably needs trimming too, as it has a good amount of original research right now, e.g. "There are also rare instances when Raistlin feels genuine regret that he cannot return to the times of his childhood, when he was capable of feeling love. This is somewhat of a regular occurrence throughout the saga, and to a large degree adds to his relative depth." Thoughts? — Torchiest talk edits 18:57, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Any particular reason this article doesn’t have an image from Larry Elmore? Is it due to copyright restrictions? Cyberbytli ( talk) 04:29, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
