"The key to Earthbending is your stance - you've gotta be steady and strong. Rock is a stubborn element. If you're going to move it, you've gotta be like a rock yourself."
― Toph Beifong to Aang (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
"Earth is the element of substance."
― Iroh to Zuko (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
"More rubble, less trouble."
― Heavy (Team Fortress 2)

  • Geokinesis/Terrakinesis

Fiction-Specific Terms[]

Capabilities[]

Users can create, shape and manipulate earth and "earthen" elements including most solid objects, specifically all minerals and mineral compositions regardless of their state (mountain, boulder, sand or dust), dirt, soil, etc. The user can also control brick and plant. Users of earth control plant from the earthly taste and smell of beets. More advanced users can manipulate metals such as iron, copper and titanium.

Offensive uses of this power include extracting huge boulders from the ground and hurling it at the enemy at high speeds, impaling the enemy with countless spikes from the earth and in some cases creating giant golems or other creatures from earth and utilize them for combat. Defensive powers include shaping huge walls or barriers from the ground, creating an omni-directional wave of rocks/stone around the user to defend from all attacks and covering oneself with armor made from earth. Supplementary uses of this power include flight by standing on a piece of levitating earth and enhanced movement by using by skating on the earth and gaining enhanced senses from sensing the earth.
