Earth Elementals
Earth is one of the base elements. I, Lucian Fey am one of the founders of Amorua. I am not going to talk up this element just because this is my element. But you may receive a bit more information on some of the abilities. I also that it is fair that I am writing about the earth element first for this novel. I have to show my pride somewhere correct? Earth elementals have earth based attacks. Legend states that a human once saved a gnome and as a token of the gnomes thanks it granted the human the ability to be able to control the earth around them.

Common Traits
• Thick Skin- Earth Elementals have a thicker skin than a normal person. By the sound of it one may think that an earth elementals skin would be rough like a rock. But, that is not true. All rocks are not rough, there are smooth rocks out there in the world. Thick skin is not as strong as a metal elementals skin, but an earth elemental can take a beating, though if there is a sharp enough object it will cut the earth elementals skin.
• Strong Balance- As strange as this sounds this is, in fact, a trait for earth elementals. They naturally have a strong sense of balance. An earth elemental is very difficult to make stumble. If you were able to make them stumble, then you one caught the elemental off guard and two hit them with a strong enough attack that caused the elemental to stumble. Though this does not mean that an earth elemental cannot quickly catch their balance once more and continue on with a fight. Though, other earth elementals seem to find it amusing to attempt to trip up another earth elemental just to see how well the person’s balance is.
• Stubborn Pride- The same goes for this one. You would not expect this to be a trait. But, it is. This is a trait that I have personally seen in every earth elemental that I have met and I in fact have a fair bit of stubborn pride myself. Why do you think I placed this element first in this novel? Telling an earth elemental to give up is never a good idea to do. They will bluntly refuse and the earth elemental will more than likely get into your face. So do not attempt to hurt an earth elementals pride. You may not like the outcome.

Basic Abilities
• Terra- This is the main ability of all earth elementals. It allows the earth elemental to control and manipulate the earth around them. There really is no further of an explanation that is needed for this.
• Granulation- Granulation allows an earth elemental to turn earth into sand. This includes rocks and dirt. Along with Minerals that are not crystals and metals. Though, once an earth elemental turns a form of earth into sand it is extremely difficult to move and getting it to function the way that you wish it to.
• Crystal Control- This is the ability to be able to control crystals. Though there are only remote areas on Amoura where crystals gather. This is actually the most difficult of the basic abilities and it takes most earth elementals quite a few years to obtain mastery of this ability before they can unlock their advanced abilities. Though, this was not to the case for myself. By my own earth elemental instructor I was told that I have been the only one to master this ability with into a year. Six months to be exact.

Advance Abilities
• Sand Bend- Once you master crystal control for some reason learning to manipulate sand comes quite easily. This is the easiest to learn out of the advanced abilities. It allows the earth elemental to be able to control and manipulate sand in smooth and fluid motions. Well, as smooth and fluid like an earth elemental can be anyways.
• Crystal Granulation and Control- Personally, when I first learned about this ability I was quite skeptical and figured that my luck with mastering crystal control so fast I was going to start losing my touch on learning and mastering things quickly. But, that was not the case with this. This ability is actually a branch off of Sand bending and granulation. So already knowing those two to learn this ability it is only just a few different tweaks and much more concentration to break down a crystal into a sand like state and then one should quickly be able to master manipulating it to their will.
• Terraportation- Now, this ability is quite enjoyable to use. As long as there is some form of earth around, with this ability an earth elemental is able to teleport through it. Though, do be careful while you are first learning this ability. I myself have face planted against another rock that is close by after exiting out of another rock. This ability also helps get away from oncoming attacks and it you are trapped into a dead end with earth, rock, or crystal as the walls. If the walls are vines of branches this does not work out quite as well, the earth elemental is better off going under the wall then through if this is the case.
• Lava Control- This ability is very rare ability. I am the only earth elemental that has been able to access this ability. This ability allows the earth elemental to create, manipulate, and control lava and magma. The only elemental that has been able to withstand the heat from this other than myself are fire elementals, but even they will be severely injured if they try to control it. This ability is extremely dangerous, to say the least, and is forbidden from being used in tournaments.
