Trying to find the name of this fantasy series so I can finish it
Please, anyone who has any idea about this series, help me. First off this fantasy series was really good, I started reading it at a friends house a long time ago, and never got the chance to get the name of the author/series. It involves the main characters going to multiple worlds, and the story, I believe opens up on a world ruled by elves and the humans are commoners, slaves, or working class. Also, this world has a series of floating islands that can only be accessed by floating ships, which only the elves have access to. One of the main things I remember is the series unique take on magic, which was done by chanting mysterious words, while using/moving the body in complex movements, almost like a dance. There were two "races" of magic users...one race had all white hair with dark tips at the ends of the hair, while the other race had all dark hair with white tips at the ends. One of the main characters is one of these races(I can't recall the names of the races, but I know one started with an "A" and the other with a "P") ,and I believe(if memory serves right) he is the last of his race, and his name was something like <PERSON>, <PERSON>, or <PERSON>.. 944
One of his character traits was that he was very clumsy, which made it hard for him to cast spells, but when he did pull one off....they were immensely powerful spells. I also remember their being many worlds that the group of main characters travel to, one being a sort of jungle world with ancient ruins,and a race of huge golims, created by "<PERSON>'s" race long ago by using magic. Another world had huge winged beasts that end up attacking the group of main protaganist, and <PERSON> ends up casting a very powerful spell, turning himself into a huge dragon, and saving the day. I know it isn't a lot to go on, I hope that someone can help me, because I have been searching a long time for this series. I really do want to finish it, I remember it being one of those series that gets you all excited and you can't stop reading. Sorry for the long description. Please, any help is better than none. Thank you all for your time. 247
