For those wondering about Raistlin Majere, this is from Wikipedia:
« Born to a mother prone to trance-like fits and a woodcutter father, Raistlin inherited his mother’s aptitude for magic. He undertook and passed the arduous Test of High Sorcery, but in the process, he acquired white hair and golden skin and was cursed with hourglass eyes which saw the effects of time on all things. His health, while never robust, was ruined further, leaving him weak and subject to frequent bouts of coughing blood. Initially wearing the white robes of good, as the first series progresses Raistlin’s powers increase while his mood and actions darken, he goes to neutral red robes for the majority of the “War of the Lance” series until he adopts the black robes of evil while under the tutelage of “Fistandantilus” during the War of the Lance.
Raistlin, although physically very weak, is extremely intelligent, and possesses uncommonly powerful magical abilities. While ruthless in his pursuit of power, he holds to a code of conduct which repays all debts and protects those disadvantaged through no fault of their own. His relationship with his much stronger, better-liked, and good-natured twin brother Caramon is fraught with tensions as Caramon seeks to protect and shelter his weaker brother while denying his cruelty and penchant for hurting any others while in pursuit of his goals. »

Isn’t this post an elaborate way of saying that today’s posteriors are tomorrow’s priors?
As in- all posteriors eventually get baked into the prior.
