Earth Magic is one of the most important secondary skills, as some of spells from the School of Earth Magic are really crucial. Expert [[Slow]] can make enemy's troops fully incompetitive (or disallow someone extremely fast, like [[Archangel]]s or [[Phoenix]]es, to rush through the battlefield), [[Implosion]] may destroy a strong stack completely (even with Spell Power 10, Expert Implosion will do 1050 damage, which would kill e.g 10 [[Champion]]s), [[Resurrection]] cannot be permanent without Earth Magic skill, and [[Town Portal]] will get the hero without the skill only to the nearest town (while sometimes it's very important to visit a particular one - to defend it when a strong enemy comes close, to get troops, or to improve skills in buildings like [[Valhalla]] or [[Wall of Knowledge]]. Town Portal can allow a hero to travel between all his towns). Moreover, [[Animate Dead]] is also an Earth spell. These spells can make a game really easier.

Basic Earth Magic: allows your hero to cast earth spells at reduced cost.
Advanced Earth Magic: allows your hero to cast earth spells at reduced cost and increased effectiveness.
Expert Earth Magic: allows your hero to cast earth spells at reduced cost and maximum effectiveness.

Earth Magic is a secondary skill, that increases the effectiveness and reduces costs of spells from the School of Earth Magic.

Earth Magic is a school of magic, along with Water, Fire and Air Magic. There is a special rule in place that offers schools of magic more often as a choice when leveling up than the secondary skill learning percentages suggest: A new school of magic will be offered at least every 4 levels for Might heroes and every 3 levels for Magic heroes. If can be offered more often by chance. Example: The Might hero was not offered a school of magic when reaching levels 2 and 3. The hero will then be guaranteed to be offered a magic school at level 4. At level 8, the hero will be offered again a new magic school if none was offered at levels 5, 6 and 7.

Town Portal can allow a hero to travel between all his towns). Moreover, Animate Dead is also an Earth spell. These spells can make a game really easier.
