| | Elminster |
 | | He has often aided mages, and elves in particular, over the last half century or so, but has taken few apprentices, and less of a hand in open politics. | | | No one wants to listen to such things because -mark ye - sword and spells rule the Realms, not cool heads and warm hearts." The true learning of being a mage, according to Elminster, is the knowledge of when not to use one's powers. | | | He may have ioun stones of any sort upon his person, and always carries a staff, usually non-magical. |

| | The Elminster in the gaming materials in nothing more and nothing less than a big stick for DM’s to use to beat the player characters with – and make certain that the PC do not fight back. | | | So to resist him, in any way, must be evil, even if he just kicked you hard in the balls for no other reason than just to see your eyes go all buggy. | | | In more general terms – namely, in terms useful on a daily basis to player characters and characters in novels – the Chosen are vehicles for divine wrath, mortals made into angels. |

| | In This Corner: Elminster versus Gandalf |
| | Thinking that the battle is still going on, he begins to taunt Elminster from various hiding spots a la The Hobbit. | | | Elminster does not take Gandalf's joke well, and begins to show the old guy what's where when it comes to combat spells. | | | Eventually, Gandalf is reduced to running and ducking for cover, relying more on combat skills than on spell power. |

| | But Elminster is only special because he was chosen by Mystra...and it all started in Tolkien with Gandalf...now it is just Elminster in this realm. | | | The fatal flaw of this type of character (besides the fact that they're damned annoying) is that to make Elminster the best, everyone else in the Realms seems smaller, given flaws and weaknesses, or simply made less than what they were. |

| | I'm sure many a game has been role played with evil elves without the other players asking "hey, are you sure you're not drow?" In fact, I'd go so far as to say that portraying the evil dimension of surface elves reinforces the nature of the drow, or at least their origins. | | | Throughout the novel, Elminster befriends a few plot-critical elves, is attacked and maligned by others, and as usual, he chants his beaten slogan "Mystra aid me" whenever the heat is on. | | | I would have assumed that Elminster was the main character that the author wanted the reader to like but he really came out as a lackey who tripped into situations and needed his butt to be saved by others, consistently. |
