Tectonics (skill)

Earth comes in many forms: malleable and vast like the desert; impenetrable and enduring like stone; or even molten and destructive like lava. Ever attuned to the constant, powerful movements of earth, the Earthcaller is able to invoke a resonance with this natural seismic activity and channel its potential into their surroundings or even themselves through a skill known as Tectonics.
