Earth Magic

Earth magic  is an elemental magic and uses earth and abilities.

Description
Earth magic uses the surrounding "earth" usually rocks, and can geokinetically shift and move them to attack enemies. Earth magics are largely based on lifting and shifting the terrain

Earth magics strength lies partially with the element they are using. For instance someone use to using a rock-earth spell, would have a hard time using the same spell with sand.

Artes
In combat, earth magics specialty is ground control. Using some spells can shift the ground under enemies feet, while others can lift the ground itself up.

The most common form of offensive earth magic is the crushing skill, by smashing enemies between rocks.

Spells
Earth spells generally move earth at enemies to crush and kill, however, useful creation like spells have been made to rise large earth structures for shelter.

Drawbacks
The biggest drawback against earth magic is the necessity of pre-existing earth to be present.
