Discussion
There are several reasons to select Earth Magic, but one of the strongest motive is Town Portal spell, which is among the most powerful adventure map spells along with Fly and Dimension Door. Another excellent reason is Resurrection spell, which can permanently resurrect creatures on Advanced and Expert level (while on Basic level only for the duration of the battle). A hero with a lot of spell points, high power skill and expert Resurrection has good chances survive without losses from battles.
Furthermore, with Expert Earth Magic Shield, Stone Skin and especially Slow become excellent spells as mass spells. Slow reduces all enemy creatures speed by 50% which can change the outcome of the battle. And finally, Implosion, which is the most destructive spell for a single creature stack, deals 200 more damage on expert level than on basic level.
