Earth

Earth (also known as Land) is a recurring element in the Grandia series. It is one of the base elements in all games along with Fire, Wind and Water. Earth magic usually combines area damage with buffing and debuffing, primarily for defense.

Recurring Themes

Equipment

Earth equipment is a very common set of weapons, armor and accessories that deal, nullify, or absorb earth damage. One of these items is the Earthern Axe, a high-level axe found late in the game.

Spells

Earth magic has a range of offensive spells including Tremor and Quake. Earth magic is often used to manipulate the defense stat with the spell Diggin' raising the party's strength and Def-Loss lowering the foe's defense.

Enemies

Enemies found in rocky areas, in deserts and in caves tend to be resilient against earth attacks.
