En del av problemet är att det är en tidsresa involverad. I Tiden för tvillingarna är det som Fistandantilus , Förr i tiden lär Raistlin Lorac att använda den orb som Lorac hade stulit:
"I have walked these halls as Fistandantilus for months now. These last few weeks I have traveled to all the Towers of High Sorcery - those still standing, that is - to study and learn. I have been with Lorac, in the elven kingdom, and taught him to use the dragon orb - a deadly gift, for one as weak and as vain as he. It will snare him, later on."
-Raistlin Majere, Time of the Twins, chapter 9

If you do, I will be lost and the world will perish.”
