Earth Magic spells deal physical damage, and can therefore be partially resisted with high AC (but not with elemental resistances).

Version 0.32: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

Earth Magic skill determines how easily you can use spells that shape or use earth, stone, iron and other such materials.

Earth Magic spells deal physical damage, having no elemental resistance. Its Conjurations abuse this fact, being single target spells with good damage, but relatively poor accuracy. The school also has a variety of supportive spells.
