other incarnations

O.k. my question is purly philosophical.
But, in the multiverse being endless in possibilities, would it be appropriate to consider raistlin(from dragonlance saga) and drizzt(from forgotten realms) to be two incarnations of elric?

raistlin(considering stormbringer being inacarnated in the staff of magius)

drizzt(iceingdeath being the incarnation of stormbinger)

I think strictly speaking Elric is an incarnation of the Eternal Champion (who I think is usually identified as John Daker (or Erekose)), so if Raistlin and/or Drizzt could be considered as being incarnation of the EC I suppose it might be possible unofficially, since pre-existing heroes such as Arthur (Artos), Roland and Ulysses were (in the early days) also identified as being incarnations of the EC.

But you might want to check that with Mike, of course. ;)

_For another eternity Allard swam through seas without end, all green and cool and deep, where distorted creatures drifted, sometimes attacking him.
_And then, at last, he had reached the real world – the world he had created, where he was God and could create or destroy whatever he wished.
_He was supremely powerful. He told planets to destroy themselves, and they did. He created suns. Beautiful women flocked to be his. Of all men, he was the mightiest. Of all gods, he was the greatest."

No, but maybe R. A. Salvatore would like you to think so...
