Earth Magic

Earth magic is the ability to control earth, meaning dirt, stone, and sand. Earth mages are stronger physically than most mages, and are generally rather large in both height and width. Earth is one of the most effective magics for battlemages to use.

Progression of Skills
Beginning earth mages have difficulty in controlling loose earth and sand, and also have little ability to shape stone, however they do have the ability to control moderate amounts of stone within a small range. As they advance, earth mages can focus on any of the following skills:

-Range of control

-Quantity of earth able to be controlled at one time

-Manipulation of more discrete particles of earth. Early on, earth mages have difficulty controlling sand and loose dirt, but precise control of even very fine sand can be achieved.

-Reshaping of hard earth. While beginning earth mages have to use stones essentially as they are, with practice earth mages can shape even the hardest of stone with precision.

-Creating and sensing vibrations in the earth

In addition, earth mages can study Plant Magic and/or Metal Magic as secondary magics.

Earth mages who focus primarily on vibrations through the earth and/or controlling large quantities of earth can study Earthshaker Magic.

Earth mages who focus on manipulation of discrete particles of earth can study Sandstorm Magic.
