Name: Personification of Earth Technique

Technique Power Ranking: D

Description: The Personification of Earth Technique is a technique that was created with the idea of becoming one with the earth, becoming earth itself. Forged by studying the concept of earth elementals, it is a technique that allows the user to temporarily become one with earth, and passively control, and increase, their affinity with earth.

Pathways:

Stage One: To Master stage one the user must first come to understand what earth truly is, how earth shifts, how the earth works, and why the earth works. They must observe, learn and feel the earth as if they are part of it for an extended period of time.

Bonus: Mastering this stage grants them a 2x affinity with earth.

Backlash: Mastering this stage lowers their affinity with other elements besides earth by half.

Stage Two: Once the first stage is mastered they can master the second stage by learning how to control, and aid the flow of earth through and around their body. They must feel, and control, how the earth flows both within them and around them.

Bonus: Grants them the ability to control rock and sediment within 25 meters of them.

Backlash: Makes them unable to learn other elemental control abilities.

Final Stage: Mastering the final stage requires them to truly become earth, to shed their mortal body and become one with the earth in both mind and body, allowing the earth to flow through them and become them.

Bonus: This stage allows the user to temporarily turn their entire body into a body of earth similar to an earth elemental for 10 turns.

Backlash: They function like an earth elemental while in this form, meaning physically and magically.
