Earth Magic SpecializationLastseen: R109

Skill:	Earth Magic Innate Skill
Type:	Innate
Prerequisite Skills:	Bulwark of Earth (Level 80)
Learned From:	Vonda

Earth Magic Specialization is the devotion of one's self to the school of Earth Magic. It increases earth attunement, decreases air resistance, and adds beneficial effects for all non-innate Earth Magic spells. NOTE: You can only specialize in 2 skill schools at a time. You can either have one specialization set to train and one set to maintain, or you can have both specializations set to maintain (thus, you can only train one specialization at a time). If you try to train a 3rd specialization, one of your other 2 specializations will automatically be set to unlearn.

Earth Magic Specialization is not affected by Earth Attunement.

Earth Magic Specialization does not affect other Innate earth magic skills.

Effect

• +0.2 Earth Attunement
• -0.1 Air Resistance
• +1.3 Earth Magic Mastery

(effects increase with skill level)

Items That Can Effect Earth Magic Specialization

The Potion of the Master Earth Mage does not raise your specialization level, it raises your Earth Magic Mastery. Therefore, this potion generates the the same effect on your skills as raising your Earth Magic Specialization, but it does not alter your earth attunement or your air resistance.
