While the supernatural effects of an Elemental Connection aren’t always obvious, those with a Rock Connection show it in a way that’s pretty gneiss; their skin gets thicker, bones more durable, and overall exhibit more physical endurance than whats considered normal. They also exhibit some limited ability to materialize earthen matter and weaponize it, much like a Rock Type Pokémon . These individuals are known as Stone Warriors, and are often guided since an early age to put their natural skills to use. These earthen guardians make excellent bodyguards, and many corporate fat cats, politicians and celebrities seek them out for employment. Because of this, some might think that these guys are all bark and no bite, but you can’t take the ability to materialize rocks for granite.
