** Based on Roland's and the Crimson King's experience inside the tower, it seems that when you go inside and climb upwards, what you find there is ''yourself'' - nothing more, nothing less. The first things Roland sees in the tower are his own birth caul and the birth caul of the Crimson King; as Roland climbs past the point where the Crimson King went to the balcony, he continues to find relics of his own past, and at the (apparent) top, when Roland reaches what would be his present, he finds a magic door with his own name on it. However, Roland had sacrificed so much in the course of questing for the Tower that, by the time he actually entered it, the quest itself was the only part of himself that remained, so when Roland is compelled to enter the door to his own soul, the quest for the Tower was the only thing there. It could also be simply that anyone that enters the Tower and climbs as high as possible will merge with the version of themselves from the world that's one level "higher up" the Tower, and Roland's alternate universe selves also share his quest but not every detail of his life.

A Date With Rosie Palms is no longer a trope
Changed line(s) 109 (click to see context) from:
*** Roland also seems to fear or distrust magic to some extent, particularly when offered to be used for his physical benefit. This can be seen when he refused the delicious-looking rabbit that fell from The Man in Black's robes in The Gunslinger, despite taking the extra effort to roast it over an open fire for his cornered quarry, favoring the last of the jerky he had been eating the whole trip. (Roland even outright states that he is afraid of enchanted meat.) It isn't too much of a stretch to assume that Roland, practical man that he is, fears and distrusts pretty much ''any'' kind of magic to some extent(even the magic of the White, which he serves), and only fiddles with it when he thinks he absolutely has to. Seeing as how he had gotten used to shooting [[ADateWithRosiePalms and doing other things]] one-handed by this point in the story, he probably didn't see having his hand back as a complete necessity, and so decided to just let it be rather than risking Patrick's [[RealityWarper abilities]] screwing up at a bad moment. He also seemed to feel mild contempt for Patrick, and only appeared to be letting the poor kid tag along because he was needed(that's the vibe I got, anyway). He might have been too proud to ask somebody he didn't like all that much to do him a favor.
