under Earth Magic instead of Fire Magic?

I was nuking a bunch of trolls in The Wild and realise/notice that meteor shower has nothing to do with fire at all... its boulders dropping from the sky knocking down your opponents and killing them.... so why is it in the Fire Magic category?

just a discussion for fun.

They are meteors (fiery rocks) dropping from the sky. Here's hoping the "fiery" part gives you the answer you need.

Ever heard of a Meteor? They come from space, flaming on fire. It has plenty to do with fire and makes plenty sense.. I think you're just making tons of annoying/pointless threads now.

I know, that's what its suppose to be if its under the fire magic, but if you look at the animation, its just rocks without fire.

That aside, when you use fire magic its somehow gives me the idea that you are infact "summoning" the fire elements, however, for meteor shower, you have to summon the meteor (rocks/earth) and when its come thru the atmosphere in high speed it burns and hence you are summoning the earth elements and not the fire elements.

Because they're flaming rocks?

Don't change what's not broken.

2nd reason against Earth would be that it comes from the sky, not from below.

If they come from the sky then they must be air magic

Chilling Winds must be Earth because it has to do with the Earth's rotation!

=O

Okay, maybe that was a bad example.

Chilling Winds is right where it belongs, water + air - becomes chill, think of the fan that comes with it own water thingy that gives you chill wind like an air conditioner.

hahaha, we should have Hurricane, which need 3 players to create, air, water and earth

using earthquake, and then water magic for Tidal Wave and Air ...

Why would rocks not from earth be under earth magic? O.o

Therefore meteor shower should be Space Magic...

Because of the part where there's a Fiery trail behind them and they spread smoke around the animation.

Then why don't you suggest the animation to be changed rather than the spell? Oh wait, that'd make sense...

It's fire magic.

How do you come up with this stuff? When I'm in a battle I'm more worried about my enemys, then whats falling on there heads.

How about this one,

Fire Storm should really be air magic because 1. It falls from the sky 2. Air is needed for fire.

Drew Barrymore from Firestarter could not make giant rocks appear from space.

But then her skills weren't based on magic.

Why not have every skill as one element and make elementalists the new elite.

Now that you mention Obsidian, hehehe, Obsidien is an orb thing i think probably have to do with cooled lava, its not exactly fire, see, its igneous rock, and hence its under Earth magic, and the flame is cause by the obsidien orb flying at high speed probably hahahahah.....

Maybe it's just some naughty person who drenched a piece of Obsidian with oil, stabbed in into someone, and set them on fire?

The world may never know...

Suggestion from guildie: make "bonds" go under Domination, because it's something you might use in this case no?

I was going to say the same thing.
It should be under space magic....or 'not of this earth' magic.

So, where do these meteors come from? A planet which exploded named 'Mipsy Doodle' perhaps?
They should be classified as Exploded Mipsy Doodle magic.
Yup.

I actually kinda agree with the OP (which is weird, cause I never agree with pumpkin...). "Earth" when used in GW does not refer to the planet they're on, but rather the rock and dirt that makes up their planet. "Ebon" is generally interchangeable with "Earth" in GW, BTW.

That said, Earth Magic is any kind of elemental magic that deals with dirt, rock, and minerals that are associated with what can be found in and on the planet of Tyria. Meteors could be included, as they are just giant rocks, regardless of where they come from.

Still, it doesn't really matter, and it's worked so far. No real need to change it now. Of course, there was also no real need to move Bloodsong from Communing to Channeling, either... so, yeah.

They are rocks, heated up by the friction while passing through the atmosphere, so they can be put in both!
