Gnomes are the magicians of the earth element. They can control and maneuver many types of dirt, minerals and even lava in the right conditions. If you are a gnome, you probably aspire to be exactly like the great Alfred Gnomley, who was the documented gnome magician. The name comes from him. 

A magician will use this magic to maneuver and control the earths resources by moving their hands in the direction and manner desired. As you become more skillful and powerful, the less you have to use your hands. Gnomely could move a boulder just by thinking about it. To move something, use two fingers and point at the object, then move fingers in the direction you want the object to go in. Bigger objects take more power and, in some cases, more than two fingers. You can also rotate objects by putting the heels of your hands together and rotate them to where you want to rotate the object.

This magic can be used in multiple situations. Combat is probably the most common use of earth magic. A person can use magic to fire rocks and even lava in some cases at opponents. Another use is building. A strong magician can form the earths resources into structures.
