{{About|This article refers to the [[secondary skill]]. For the school of magic, see {{l|School of Earth Magic}}.}} {{Secondary skills}} {{Secondary skill | B_effect = allows your hero to cast earth spells at reduced cost. | A_effect = allows your hero to cast earth spells at reduced cost and increased effectiveness. | E_effect = allows your hero to cast earth spells at reduced cost and maximum effectiveness. }} '''Earth Magic''' is a [[secondary skill]], that increases the effectiveness and reduces costs of [[spell]]s from the [[School of Earth Magic]]. Earth Magic is a school of magic, along with Water, Fire and Air Magic. There is a special rule in place that offers schools of magic more often as a choice when leveling up than the secondary skill learning percentages suggest: A new school of magic will be offered at least every 4 levels for Might heroes and every 3 levels for Magic heroes. If can be offered more often by chance. Example: The Might hero was not offered a school of magic when reaching levels 2 and 3. The hero will then be guaranteed to be offered a magic school at level 4. At level 8, the hero will be offered again a new magic school if none was offered at levels 5, 6 and 7.

Expert [[Slow]] can make enemy's troops fully incompetitive (or disallow someone extremely fast, like [[Archangel]]s or [[Phoenix]]es, to rush through the battlefield), [[Implosion]] may destroy a strong stack completely (even with Spell Power 10, Expert Implosion will do 1050 damage, which would kill e.g 10 [[Champion]]s), troops risen by [[Resurrection]] cannot remain after the battle without Earth Magic skill, and [[Town Portal]] will get the hero without the skill only to the nearest town (while sometimes it's very important to visit a particular one, e.g. to defend it when a strong enemy comes close, to get troops, to learn spells, or to improve skills in buildings like [[Hall of Valhalla]] or [[Wall of Knowledge]]. Town Portal can allow a hero to travel between all his towns). Moreover, [[Animate Dead]] is also an Earth spell. These spells can make a game really easier. Other magic schools are useful, but Earth Magic rocks. There are several reasons to select Earth Magic, but one of the strongest motive is [[Town Portal]] spell, which is among the most powerful adventure map spells along with [[Fly]] and [[Dimension Door]]. Another excellent reason is the [[Resurrection]] spell (and [[Animate Dead]] for [[Undead]]), which permanently resurrects creatures at Advanced and Expert level (while on Basic level only for the duration of the battle). A hero with a lot of spell points, high [[power]] skill and Expert or Advanced Resurrection can win almost any battle without suffering losses (for example, by [[Blind]]ing the last enemy stack and then resurrecting all of their own troops). Furthermore, with Expert Earth Magic, [[Shield]], [[Stone Skin]] and [[Slow]] become powerful [[mass spell]]s at Expert level. Slow as a mass [[hindering spell]] has especially devastating effects among enemy troops, as it reduces all enemy creatures' [[speed]] by 50%, which may change the outcome of battles against overpowering opponents. Earth magic also contains [[Meteor Shower]] which is a great multi hex damaging spell and [[Implosion]] which is the strongest [[single target spell]] in the game, capable of destroying or crippling a power stack at the beginning of the fight. }}{{end of user commentary}} {{secondary skill 'see also'}} [[Category: Secondary skills]] __NOTOC__
