If it was closed already at that time, when did it be closed and by who? (I know it was a black robe, but I don't know his name and the reason of his action) At the end of the War of the Lance (353 AC) Raistlin Majere enters the tower of Palanthas. He is proclaimed the Master of Past and Present. But did he open the tower to other wizards, so they go and study magic again in the tower? If the doors kept closed for other wizards, how did Raistlin ever meet Dalamar and made him is disciple?

If it was closed already at that time, when did it be closed and by who? (I know it was a black robe, but I don't know his name and the reason of his action) As was stated by retillin, it was closed just prior to the first Cataclysm during the time of the Kingpriest. If you would like exact info on who and how it was cursed, check out the "Kingpriest Trilogy" by Chris Pierson; it goes into great detail about the tower curse and the wizard who threw himself upon the gates from the top of the tower to create the curse. Very good trilogy (it also tells about the other towers, which were destroyed during the reign of the last Kingpriest).

Fistandantilus had convinced his acolyte/apprentice Rannoc (I know I spelled it wrong) jump seal the tower from all outside intrusion, except Fisty himself. This he accomplished by throwing himself from the deathspire and impaling himself upon the gate. He said that only the Master of Past and Present (Fisty) would be able to enter the tower. That's the nutshell version.

He survived and then Fisty used him to cusre the Tower in Palanthas. From everything I've read on the Tower in Palanthas it was different looking before it was cursed. The cursed turned the whole tower black and twisted it.

He was called Andras in one book and Rannoch in another, so when we put together Towers of High Sorcery (where his stats appear twice, once as a living man and again as an undead guardian of the Tower) we stuck both names together.
