Earth Magic: do

Earth Magic is primarily defensive, with a number of utility effects--some of which are associated with crafting. Earth Magic damage is partially physical in nature, and bypasses a portion of the target's magic or elemental resistances.

Gnomes have a natural affinity with earth, and receive the following benefits associated with it:

• They begin with the Earth Magic skill, which does not consume a skill slot.
• +25% base Earth Resistance
• +10% rate of skill gain with Earth Magic
• -1 to minimum Magnitudes for Earth Magic spell effects
• Exclusive access to certain effects
