Earth (element)

Earth, sometimes referred to as Quake, is a recurring element that appears in the Final Fantasy series. It is generally opposed to the Wind element. The Earth element is associated with the Quake spell and the status effect Rasp in Final Fantasy XI. Depending of the game, Earth-elemental either deals bonus damage to flying enemies, deals reduced damage to them, or outright deals no damage at all.
