Geomancy, often referred to as Eseron Magic, is an elemental magic that focuses on manipulating earth and its various subtypes. Originating in the northern, colder regions of Eden, Geomancy is used by the population for various purposes, ranging from artisanal crafts to construction and, more commonly, excavation to even combatting bandits and monsters. Those that seek to learn Geomancy commonly travel to the northern regions, seeking a proper education closer to the original areas where the dwarves founded the magic.
History
Geomancy was first developed by the dwarven villagers living in the northern mountains. The villagers use magic to mine for various precious metals and gems. These villages began to rapidly expand and grow, using their newfound magics to construct small structures and fortifications, keeping them well protected from wild animals and bandits. However, with new threats and dangers, the practitioners began using their magic for more combative purposes, creating more complex fortifications and barricades with their fellow practitioners while arming their artillery with an endless supply of trebuchet and catapult ammo. Besides that, there are stories of powerful Tera Mages being skilled enough to sink enemy forces into quicksand or be completely pinned down by a barrage of boulders and soil. Nowadays, Tera Magic is found all over Eden, its resourcefulness in construction and combat potential wiring a large drive for such practitioners.
Learning and Teaching
To learn this magic, the student must endure rough trials, keeping their cool through them all. This brute magic is unstable and needs the student to not fret about this power. Training is therefore spent mostly in brute conditions. Though not all of the Geomancy is considered brute and boarish. Geomancy has a beautiful and tender side that shows itself in nature, and those who practice Geomancy protect that beauty. These mages usually train in the deep forests, on top of the highest trees, or embedded within the surrounding shrubbery. The teacher can teach their student up to 2 levels under their own. So only level 5 or higher teachers can train their students to level 3.
To reach level one, a teacher needs to have at least two sessions with their student, each being at least sixty minutes long. To obtain level two, the student must have another four lessons of sixty minutes. To finally reach level three and the ability to teach magic themselves, the students need to have another set of four sessions, each with a length of sixty minutes. Each day one session can be held by the teacher and student pair. After finally reaching level three, the student doesn’t require additional sessions and will reach level four automatically after some time of self-studying the magic. The first level requires a bonding trial to empower the spellcaster. These trials are usually done at or around the Hallowed Grounds of the magic type that is considered sacred by all those who practice that elemental art. Bonding trials are events of big importance to the mage as they represent their progress and path to attain the true mastery over their element.
Level Increase | Required Sessions | Req .Session Length |
Lvl 0 to Lvl 1 | 2 Sessions | Event at Hallowed Grounds |
Lvl 1 to Lvl 2 | 4 Sessions | 60 Minutes. Proof in lore ticket. |
Lvl 2 to Lvl 3 | 4 Sessions | 60 Minutes. Proof in lore ticket. |
Lvl 3 to Lvl 4 | Self-study. Show proof of self-study in lore ticket 3 times. | |
Lvl 4 to Lvl 5 | Self-study. Show proof of self-study in lore ticket 4 times. | |
Lvl 5 to Lvl 6 | 1 Session | Event at Hallowed Grounds |
Lvl 6 to Lvl 7 | Self-study. Show proof of self-study in lore ticket 6 times. | |
Lvl 7 to Lvl 8 | Self-study. Show proof of self-study in lore ticket 8 times. | |
Lvl 8 to Lvl 9 | Self-study. Show proof of self-study in lore ticket 10 times. | |
Lvl 9 to Lvl 10 | 1 Session | Event at Hallowed Grounds |
After choosing a path, the spellcaster will automatically increase in level if they can show proof of self-study. The caster can level up once every IC year or twice if that year is their primal season. Emerald Dusk is the primal season of Geomancy.
Bonding trials are still required to level up between certain levels as seen above with "event". For more information about self-study, check the magic rules page.

Limitations
Most spells in this magic require a Gamemaster and occasionally a builder’s help. This magic is, therefore, a little slow to take effect. The caster cannot use these spells to destroy buildings or cities except if all parties agree, including the Gamemaster Team.
Bodily Changes
Biomancy
Mandatory
Because of a biomancer's connection to the natural world of Eseron itself, the biomancer is able to communicate with plants and animals. They understand their motivations and fears, even though their communication is limited.
Optional
As the mage connects more deeply to the nature of Eseron and Kor, their physical embodiment might undergo a harmonious transformation. Antlers might sprout from their head where leaves would naturally unfurl. Hair could adopt shades of moss green or other verdant hues mimicking the vitality of thriving flora. Their skin might take on a healthier, more vibrant tone aswell.
Biomancers might also be affected as they turn to a more neutral and calm way of living. They don't pick a side but they also don't disagree and agree they will first take action if they are the ones being harmed.
Petromancy
Mandatory
Because of a petromancer's connection to the inner core of Kor, their skin gains a subtle, stone-like hardness, although a sword still pierces their skin as easily as normal skin.
Optional
A deeper connection to the inner parts of Kor, like done in petromancy could manifest through subtle yet distinctive changes. Their skin may develop a gentle tint of gray, mimicking the subtle shades of stone. Eyes might transform into an array of gemstone-like colors, evoking the hidden treasures within the earth. Hair could shift into vibrant, gem-inspired shades, capturing the brilliance and allure of precious minerals. Because of their close connections to mountains, the Petromancers also learned to adapt a thing or 2 from the dwarves of the north as some petromancers are seen with rather large majestical beards.
Their habits might become less reactive and more stoic, like a rock as their habits might start repeating in a more strict pattern having a harder time breaking from them and even seeming to not wish to as it would mean stepping out of their comfort zone.
Spells
Base Spells

The caster can summon a ring of floating crystal shards around themselves. The shards commonly resemble crystals, such as amethysts, emeralds, and even more. While active, the shards spin around the caster, cutting and wounding everyone nearby. | |
Level | 1 |

Range | 3 meters |
Damage | The caster needs to roll a D5 to determine the amount of rounds until the crystals would vanish.

Level | 1 |
Casting Value | 15 |
Range | Touch |
Damage | The caster targets up to a 3x3x3 cube of blocks of a larger ruin or broken structure and can immediately repair it, restoring it to the way it was. Examples include broken walls or roofing, broken bridges, stone ruins, or shattered windows.

Damage | The caster summons pebbles from Kor to shoot out in a wide range; the pebble rain is aimed at an enemy and has a width of 3 meters. Anyone standing in that 10x3 area has to roll defense or get hit. When the spell hits, it does D2 damage. |
Critical Failure | The stones fly from the tear too hastily and hit the caster instead. The caster takes D2 damage. |
Critical Success | The stones gain extra momentum and can reach up to 15m |
Red Lines | The caster needs a line of sight to the enemy to hit them with this spell. |
Liquify | |
The caster gathers the minerals of their surroundings, as light shines where they touch. The user tears its structure apart, creating a liquid, floating metal ball above their hand. The caster can now either shape it into something like a weapon or tool, one that is not too intricate, of course, or uses it as a projectile and fires it off at an enemy. | |
Level | 2 |
Casting Value | 10 |
Range | 20m |
Damage | One of the following effects will take place;
In combat, the caster shoots the ball of liquid metal at their target within 20m, and it solidifies before impact. This deals D3 damage on success.

Fulfilling this function requires Gamemaster supervision. [GM determined]. Intricate tools such as these can only be made once an OOC day. |
Critical Failure | The light that started to shine faded before the caster's eyes. The magic they had gathered was not strong enough, sadly. |

The armor lasts indefinitely until the caster chooses to end the effects or until this spell is cast again. |
Critical Failure | The spell crushes the caster, causing them harm and to lose focus after which the dust disperses. The caster takes 1 damage. |
Critical Success | The armor is even sturdiers, it can now withstands attacks up to 18 in value. |

The target may attempt to break free early by rolling strength during their turn. They escape early if the strength roll is higher than the casting roll. |
Critical Failure | The rocks grow heavy and unstable, crashing down upon the caster instead, dealing 2 damage and rooting them for 1 round, dealing an additional 1 damage. |
Critical Success | The rocks are extremely firm and can not be broken free from early. |
Red Lines | To use this spell out of combat, a Gamemaster has to supervise. Players trapped inside the rock tomb can not attack or be attacked. |
Earthy Encasement | |
This spell, very popular among geomancers, has a simple yet effective way of working. The caster summons the soil's might to move the earth beneath the target's feet. The ground will quickly move aside for the unfortunate to fall into a small hole, only to close back in and encase the victim in the earth. | |
Level | 3 |
Casting Value | 12 |
Range | 4 meters |
Damage | Upon performing the spell, a 2 Meter deep hole comes into being, right underneath the spell's victim. Right after, the hole closes again and submerges the victim in the earth. The target suffocates and takes 1 Damage per round they're in the hole.
The victim can attempt to dig out by rolling d20. If the roll is higher than the success roll for the spell, they break free; a 20 will always free the player. |
Critical Failure | The spell gets out of control and misfires, so both the caster and the victim get buried. |
Critical Success | The earth presses onto the victim harder, dealing D2 damage per round. |
Red Lines | The target must be standing on earth-like blocks (such as paths, dirt, stone, ore, and the like).

Level | 4 |
Casting Value | 18 |
Range | Selfcast |
Damage | The caster uses natural minerals and creates a weapon of choice. The weapon can be altered slightly in looks, though it still has the same uses as the normal version.

Only one of these bonuses may apply to a single creature at any time. |
Critical Failure | The caster fails to create any weapon; they pass out and cannot attempt to cast this spell for 2 OOC weeks. |
Critical Success | The caster rolls a D11 instead, where 11 = Adamantium. |
Red Lines | The mage can only attempt to make a weapon this way once per OOC week due to the high value of these weapons. A Gamemaster must be present for the creation to approve the weapon. |
Spirit of Kor | |
The caster calls forth a spirit of Kor, a creation of stone and minerals in the shape of a huge man with mighty arms. The spirit helps the caster and their allies in combat. | |
Level | 5 |

Damage | The caster summons a great Golem, who does as the caster commands. The Golem stays with the caster until the caster's tear gets closed or until the golem is reduced to 0 HP. The Golem takes its turn right after the caster's turn. The Golem has the following:
25 HP, 6 meters movement. +3 on attack rolls. +5 on defense rolls. It can choose from 3 abilities each round. Slam: The Golem slams down in front of him in a 3x2 area which deals D4 damage to a targeted creature if hit.

This deals 5 damage to the golem and D5 damage to the target. This has a reach of 30 meters. |

Petromancy Spells
Pillar of Stone | |

Level | 1 |
Casting Value | 10 |
Range | 10 meters - 18 meters as projectile |
Damage | The user creates a pillar of stone, which is as tall as they need it to be, with the maximum height being their spellcaster level, while its width being 3 blocks, circular. They can also let the pillar levitate, turning it into a projectile. If used as such, the mage needs to do a normal attack roll. If the attack hits, it will deal D3 damage to the target. |
Critical Failure | The pillar the caster tried to pull up is puny in size. They only managed to lift a rock the size of 1 block from the ground. |
Critical Success | The maximum size, instead, is doubled |
Red Lines | The pillar is created very slowly, so if someone is standing on it, they can get off willingly without taking any damage by rolling a D20 agility and landing a 12 or higher. |
Petrifying Hands | |

Level | 2 |
Casting Value | 16 |
Range | Touch |
Damage | The user briefly touches something and turns it into solid rock.
This spell works better on materials than on organic matter. On the organic matter, a thin layer of stone covers the surface instead.

Critical Failure | The petrification grows unstable, turning the hands of the caster into blocks of stone. The caster won't be able to use their hands or spells for 1 round. |

Craftman's Friends | |
Craftsman's Friend is an advanced spell that requires a Geomancer to infuse their energy with the nearby ground, being able to reshape the stone into a statue-like puppet. The mage does this by clapping their hands together and placing them afterward on the ground, causing a 2-and-a-half meter tall, humanoid puppet to emerge from the stone. Interestingly enough, the mage can also use the same spell to be encased by the puppet, using it as armor instead. | |
Level | 2 |
Casting Value | 18 |
Range | Selfcast |
Damage | The caster needs to roll a D4+4 to determine how much damage the golem can tank until it falls apart. While encased by the golem, the mage will move at half their normal speed but gain +2 on strength rolls while in this form. |
Critical Failure | The golem will crumble apart after one hit during CRP or one OOC minute out of CRP. |
Critical Success | The golem can tank an additional 2 damage. Their movement remains normal, and they will gain +3 on strength rolls instead. |
Red Lines | While the mage is encased within the golem, they aren’t immune to attacks that can penetrate or move through its defense.
Moreover, the caster cannot cast any spells while in this golem. |
Circle of Stone | |
The caster pushes forth a circle of stone that rises from the ground, trapping anything within its bounds. | |
Level | 3 |
Casting Value | 15 |
Range | 20 blocks |

Critical Failure | A rock shoots up, shooting the caster into the air and letting them fall.
They make an agility roll where they need to roll higher than 10, or else they take D3 damage. |
Critical Success | The circle of stones stays up for 5 rounds instead of 3. |
Red Lines |
Geotic Grasp | |
The caster sees the earth's tear, guiding them through its persistent nature, as the user starts encapsulating the opponent's footing. They do this with whatever is closest to the ground and eliminate the opponent's movement. Occasionally, this makes enemies completely immobile, stopping them from doing anything until they struggle out. | |
Level | 3 |
Casting Value | 12 |
Range | 15 meters |
Damage | The spellcaster's level amount of targets in range has their movement completely taken away. They cannot move for D3 rounds |
Critical Failure | The spell fails, and nothing happens. |
Critical Success | The regular effects of the spell activate, but the effects are strengthened. The target cannot move for D3+1 rounds. |
Red Lines | This spell only works if there is rocky or earthy ground beneath the enemy.
The targets can still move everything but their legs. |
Mineral Dome | |
The casters calls forth crystal pillars and spikes from the ground, each radiating their arcane energy and blessing all who are allies to the caster and stand within. The aura surrounds them as it empowers their strikes and precision and the aura wraps around them like a shield to protect them from harm. | |
Level | 3 |
Casting Value | 15 |
Range | 7 meters |
Damage | The caster creates an immaterial dome, powered by magically infused crystal spikes in a 15 by 15 area in front of the caster. These spikes and pillars have a total of 10 HP.
Any ally to the caster standing inside becomes empowered by the magical aura the crystal radiates and gains a +2 bonus to melee attack rolls. And while inside the dome, a magical aura protects them, allowing them to absorb 1 damage per round. The dome stays for D3+1 rounds, or until it's broken by enemies. |
Critical Failure | The dome shatters, and the energy they radiate becomes weakening. Every ally gets -1 to their rolls for the next round. |
Critical Success | The dome stays for the full duration (4 rounds) in and has a total of 14 HP. |
Red Lines | N/A |

Level | 4 |
Casting Value | 16 |
Range | 10 blocks |
Damage | The caster summons forth 3 boulders that float around the caster, which the caster can use to attack, or block ranged attacks. The caster can use their action to throw one of these boulders, dealing D3 damage to the target hit. The caster can also use one of these boulders to get a +2 to save against any projectile attack roll. This can only be done once every round. The boulders stay for D3 rounds. |
Critical Failure | Instead, the caster gets hit with one of the boulders they summoned, becoming buried in stone, skipping their turn so long as they are buried within. The caster rolls a strength roll against the boulders every round to get free. |
Critical Success | the boulders stay for an additional 2 rounds. When thrown, the boulders shatter upon impact dealing D2 to all targets within 3 meters of the target. |
Red Lines |
Voice of the Mountain | |

Level | 4 |
Casting Value | 16 |
Range | 15 meters |
Damage | The enemy who fails to defend against this spell is filled with fear and don't dare to advance on the caster.
All enemies in the area receive -3 to all mundane attack rolls for D2+2 rounds. On top of that, their movement is halved for the spell's duration. Any mages caught by this spell cannot benefit from a critical success, and will critically fail if they fail a cast. |
Critical Failure | The caster directs the sound at their allies and enemies. Everyone within range is hit with the effect. |
Critical Success | The duration of the spell is D2+2 rounds instead. |
Red Lines | Walking into the area of effect after the spell has been cast gives that person the same effects for the remaining spell duration. |
Eden's Wrath | |
The caster rips open the earth with mastery over the soil and creates a powerful earthquake. From this earthquake, sharp spikes start piercing out from the ground, hitting those caught within the area of effect. | |
Level | 5 |
Casting Value | 20 |
Range | 25 meters |
Damage | By opening the tear far enough, the caster can create an earthquake, followed by the eruption of spikes from the ground. The earthquake is 7 meter wide and 20 meters long. Everyone within the line will take 4 flat damage. Spikes will appear within 20 meters of the caster in the direction the spell was fired. To determine if the spikes are hitting a target, they will need to roll a D20. If they roll an even number, the attack will hit them. If this spell hits an enemy, it will deal additional D2+2 damage to the target and stop their movement emotes for 2 rounds. |
Critical Failure | The spell will fail, causing the caster to be wounded instead. Most often, the caster will lose a limb due to the strong drawback of the spell. |
Critical Success | Additionally to the normal effect, magma will start to spill forth from the summoned spikes. If hit by a spike, it will cause a burning effect on top of being hit. |
Red Lines | This spell can only be used when supervised by a Gamemaster.
