Essential Earth
Regular
Creates the magical essence of Earth. Essential Earth is three times
as fertile: plants germinate three times faster and grow three times taller or
bigger than normal. In addition, if Essential Earth is transformed into
stone via the Earth to Stone spell, it will be three times as strong (DR and
HP); columns or blocks cut from such stone would support three times as
much weight. This Essential Stone is similar to the legendary material
adamant, discussed in more detail in GURPS Fantasy.
If Essential Earth is transformed into metal via Earth to Stone, that
Essential Metal will also have triple the strength (HP, DR, and carrying
capacity) of normal metal; this is similar to the legendary alloy orichalcum,
discussed in more detail in GURPS Fantasy.
