One of the magical affinities that are used by characters bearing wands and magical weapons is the elemental affinity called "earth". The earth affinity deals damage based on vibration and particle attacks.
Overview
You can use your imagination and knowledge of science to invent new and interesting ways that "earth" may work, but for the most part you can break down this affinity into the following uses:
- Vibration - You could shake, hum, or obliterate
- Terraforming - You could manipulate the earth to produce stalagmites, crack walls, or build land bridges
- Particles - You could summon dust, dirt, sand, or gravel
- Ore - You could manipulate rocks, boulders, and metal

- Buff: Sandblast - allows a melee weapon to kick up a blinding sand cloud
Armor Buff and Debuff Slots

- Buff: Titan - doubles your incoming damage reduction due to equipped armor
Example Combinations
By themselves, the power of magical affinities can be used for smaller attacks and effects. However, by combining multiple affinities during an invocation you can create very interesting ways to solve a problem or defeat a foe. It's important to know that the following examples are in no way intended to limit the wide variety of combinations you can create, they are simply examples. Consult with your game master to see if two affinities can work together in the way you intend.
