There are a number of reasons why this is. Earth may not be considered as flashy or might be considered too similar to physical damage. It may also be a product of real-world beliefs; in Elementalism, the element of Earth is closely tied in with worldly desires such as wealth, prosperity, and power. As such, some writers may not feel that it is an appropriate powerset to give to a heroic character. Sometimes writers will fold Earth into one of the other elements, most often Fire (through volcanoes and deserts), but it sometimes gets grouped with Wind (through grass and sand).

The important thing to remember is that unlike its more common SisterTrope, FireIceLightning, here [[IceMagicIsWater ice magic is NOT water]] and the element of air is represented by [[BlowYouAway wind]], not [[ShockAndAwe electricity]].

See also ElementalPowers, PlayingWithFire, MakingASplash, and BlowYouAway, as well as FireWaterJuxtaposition.

If it overlaps with LandSeaSky, the part of Land will be played by Fire, as represented by volcanoes or deserts.

* Believers in Elementalism often consider Earth to be "the evil element" due to its close ties to the concept of worldly desire, particularly wealth, and as such is often eschewed. Creator/AleisterCrowley in particular wrote about the anti-Earth bias of other occultists, particularly pointing out how the traditional form of the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, despite being intended to banish all elemental spirits, only makes use of the pentagram symbol for banishing Earth spirits.

[[folder: Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea}}'' has the elemental affinities of Fire, [[IceMagicIsWater Ice/Water]], and Wind, with Star also existing as a NonElemental attribute. This lasted until ''5'', which made Star into a proper elemental affinity with its own weaknesses and resistances.
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfLegacy'' has the elements of Air, Water, and Fire. Earth might be present as the Shadow element, which has powers like Sandstorm, and Powerblow which summons jagged rocks from the ground, but Shadow isn't usable by the player characters anyway.
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda'': The Three Golden Goddesses. Din is often associated with fire, Farore with water, and Farore with wind.
** Din's Fire and Farore's Wind are spells in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' and in Zelda's moveset in ''Videogame/SuperSmashBros'', but Nayru's Love has no apparent water connection.
** Most exemplified in games where you have to retrieve their PlotCoupons.
*** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'', the Kokiri Emerald (Farore) is located in the Kokiri Forest[[note]]Not wind-themed in the game, but originally, a Wind Temple was meant to be traversed in the Kokiri Forest[[/note]]; the Goron Ruby (Din) is located at Death Mountain, a volcano; and the Zora Emerald (Nayru) is found in Zora's Domain, the source of Hyrule's fresh water.
*** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'', Din's Pearl is at Dragon Roost Island (the game's fire dungeon), Farore's Emerald is at the Forbidden Woods (a wind-themed dungeon, but to a much lesser extent than the Wind Temple later on), and Nayru's Pearl is held by Jabun, a large fish who lived at Greatfish Island until it was destroyed and then sought refuge in a sea cave at Outset Island.
** Also a recurring theme for many of a given game's first set of dungeons before the major plot shakeup.
*** As noted for ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'', the first two dungeons are Fire and Wind themed, but the game lacks a true Water Dungeon, as it was presumably destroyed at Greatfish Isle.
*** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', we have the Forest Temple (wind), Goron Mines (fire), and Lakebed Temple (water).
* In ''VideoGame/OriAndTheBlindForest'', the three Elements of Light are the Element of Waters (housed in the Ginso Tree), the Element of Winds (housed in the Forlorn Ruins), and the Element of Warmth (housed in Mount Horu).
* The legendary trio from ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'' is this as well as LandSeaSky. Kyogre is the embodiment of the sea and has the water type. Rayquaza is the sky and flying type, with a number of wind-based moves. Groudon is the embodiment of the land, and more specifically desolate and hot wastelands, represented by a combination of Earth and Fire, with moves like Eruption and the Drought ability which calls bright sunlight to strengthen fire moves.
