How this works!: Post below this thread and state the amount you wish to donate. It will be taken from your Currency and added here manually. Simple! Good luck~ If a tier is not selected choose the tier as well. If a tier is already stated you just state the amount.

Welcome to your Skills Page everyone! This is the Earth Specialty page set up by your very own Research and Development Team. If you are looking for a different element then you are on the wrong page or maybe the wrong section if it has no Affiliation with Earth. Here you send your Donations to skills that are Earth related or require Earth to use. Donating your currency helps not only develop the new skill but gives you bonuses as well like special Badges and such. You can even gain other privileges such as quotes or a special character design to be featured under the element. As the forum evolves so will the skills. More will be added and even more powerful skills will become available. So play often and spend when you can.

This area has a special mode called Challenge mode. This is where an already developed skill can be challenged by all of you to see if a new skill can be created or it can become more powerful. For a Challenge to occur most of a Tier must be unlocked. You can not have more than 3 unknown skills in a tier to call a challenge. When you call a Challenge you must list the tier and the skill that you wish to challenge. A Voting System will be set in place and an announcement will be made. You have one month to reach the donation goal and the votes to be cast. On the date of the following month if all requirements are met you gain a Challenge Badge and the new skill is placed on a feature with your chosen character during the next announcement cycles. If you can not succeed with donations and votes the Challenge will fail and the Experiment will be a failure. Be careful because a total of 5 failures will have the skill on a cool down. This will not affect your game play on the forum. But you will not be able to challenge again until it is cleared of the red bar.

Below are all the tiers and their descriptions. Skills will have an image, information, top contributor and Challenge Information. Be warned the donations for any and all Research and Development Team are Final. You will not get a refund. Refunds can only be found in your Forum Shop.

Tier 1: Common Attacks

Skill Image	Skill Description	Top Contributor	Challenge Information
	Stone Shot - A concentrated single shot of Earth. Similar to a rockfall sent to the enemy. Tsukiyoko : - If the caster’s skill is low, this will result in bruises where the attack strikes with a low chance of small cuts if the rocks were jagged enough. If the caster’s skill is high, then the bruises will be much more severe with a low chance of broken bones if the attack manages to hit just the right spot with the right amount of force. - If the attack misses, or if it is used for this task specifically, then there is a chance for the enemy to become distracted. - Also has a low chance of knocking the enemy unconscious if they are struck on the head.	-----	No Challenges have been set.
	Quake - An earthquake skill. Will cause your enemy to lose balance. (Directed to hit Fighters Only) Tsukiyoko : - If the caster is low in skill, then this attack will have little effect other than knocking the enemy off balance and causing them to be confused for one turn. If the caster is high in skill, then this attack also carries a low risk of the enemy incurring fall damage along with the other effects. - If caster has high enough skill, then this technique can affect the battlefield itself since it could affect the ground. Chance of this is low, however, as it takes great concentration to pull off.	-----	No Challenges have been set.
	Rock Shower - Shower attack which sends sharp small rocks at the sacrifice. (If high in skill this can cause gashes and bruising) Tsukiyoko : - If the caster is low in skill, the resulting cuts from this technique, while annoying and possibly very painful depending on just where they hit the enemy’s body, will not impede the enemy much. If the caster is high in skill however, this attack becomes much more useful as it results in severe cuts that will possibly require hospital visits to stich up or even sever entire limbs. Chances of severing a limb are low except in cases where one is fighting a Master user of Earth. - Also has a low chance of effecting the enemy’s vision due to rock dust if they are struck near the head, face, or neck region of the body.	-----	No Challenges have been set.
	Stone Slash - Imitation of a hammer swing that creates a single line quake and knocks back the enemy. (Hits both members of the unit) Tsukiyoko : - Low chance of causing disorientation in the enemy if the caster’s skill is high enough thanks to the knockback effect of this attack. This will last for one turn. - If the caster’s skill is low, then this attack can have a severe bruising effect and with a little luck can result in a decent cut. If their skill is high enough, this attack can result in a severe cut that will require a few stitches to sew up. - If the caster is quick enough (and possesses the luck and properly concentrates), there is a small chance to chain the attacks. However, each strike can only be done one at a time since the previous strike must be followed to its conclusion in order for the caster to be able to concentrate enough to cast another one.	-----	No Challenges have been set.

Tier 2: Barriers

Skill Image	Skill Description	Top Contributor	Challenge Information
	Rock Wall - This barrier prevents an attack from hitting your Sacrifice. (Only works on a single attack. Multiples damage is reduced by a medium amount.)	-----	No Challenges have been set.
	Cavern - This is an encasing barrier which prevents attacks from hitting the unit. (Works well against multiple attacks but can cause exhaustion.) Zeal : - Can be combined with other elements but be warned it is a case and can harm the unit as well. - Attacks can only hit the front/mouth of the cavern. Once the front illusion breaks the cavern will crumble. This will cause minor damage if your affinity meter is below 50%	Zeal	No Challenges have been set
