Earth is the third element controlled by one of the Guardians, specifically Cornelia and Kadma.

The ElementEdit

Earth is one of the four classic elements along with water, fire and air, and is bound to the others through Quintessence. It is the second most powerful classic element, considering that the Guardian who controls it can control almost any and all materials and substances found on earth.

Earth in W.I.T.C.H.Edit

The element earth is controlled by Cornelia Hale, one of the new Guardians. Kadma, one of the previous Guardians, was also endowed with this power. This element provides the Guardian it is entrusted to the abilities to manipulate anything geologic, ranging from plants and trees to minerals and rocks. The power of Earth is the second strongest element out of the five, as it can completely cave in areas and destroy the land around the Guardian who uses it. However, the one aspect that keeps it from being the strongest is it's major drawback: a Guardian of Earth can only manipulate her element, not manifest it. For example: a Guardian of Fire has the ability to both create flames out of thin air and manipulate any sources of fire than happen to be nearby. A Guardian of Earth cannot materialize stone or plant life if she is not close to said material. Additionally, A Guardian of Earth does not possess chronological and spacial manipulation or any of the other great abilities as a Guardian of Quintessence does. Thus, Earth falls as the second strongest power. It is more of a physical element, while Fire, Water, and Air are more mystical, and Quintessence's mysterious assortment of attributes makes it an even combination of both.

With this power, a Guardian can harness extremely strong capabilities, such as tearing holes in the ground, setting off earthquakes, and encouraging the rapid growth of plant life. The Guardian of Earth, like the rest of the Guardians, gains psychic abilities, as well.
