Elminster would not be Elminster if he was never born. Or if he never found his calling and recieved his powers.
Much the same for the Bhaalspawn. If, by some weird chance, Raistlin found himself on Faerun, and knew of Bhaal's Plot, my guess is he would be going forward and backwards to see how various threads of time would work out, and choose the one most favourable to him. Either taking Bhaal's power for himself, like Irenicus, or, having a spineless jellyfish of a Bhaalspawn rise to power that he could manipulate.
Also, as far as Raistlin is concerned, one must remember that the Queen of Darkness tortured him physically. When Raistlin reached that point of power of total spell manipulation, no spell, no magic of any sort would work against him. He would simply alter the nature of magic to harm the caster or turn it into healing energy for himself. He could, for example, take a magic missile fired at him, and, turn it into 5 healing spells.
So that comes down to physical attacks, since all spells are useless. Remember the army Raistlin summoned up in Dragons of Spring Dawning with but a brief spoken word and a gesture? Or the fact that he can, at whim, summon dragons in unlimited numbers. Or summon Spirits of the Shokian Grove, whose Fear spell is so powerful that it effects both Kender and even the Gods of Krynn. Nothing, and I mean nothing is immune to the Shokian Grove Spirirts, who I might add, have a Slay ability that even effects immortals.
Elminster this, and Elminster that, bah. Once again, both of them would know the consequences of their own power and simply would not endanger everything as we know it in a petty dispute.
