Roth

Roth is the Element of stone, and hosts of it are known simply as stone mages, and sometimes as stone-smiths. Less officially (and somewhat mockingly) they are called Statues, as the stone mage typically maintains an heir of calm and disinterest, and are jokingly said to have no need for breathing.

Roth mages are used by the Academy in the mining industry, acting as for-hire supports. Combined with their legendary patience, the power of a stone-smith allows them to find and eliminate structural faults, as well as to strengthen the walls (these both apply to buildings, and not just mine shafts).

Roth is a very predictable Element, remaining in an incredibly patient and lethargic emotional state. This grants stone mages the power for extreme focus that makes them ideal at enchanting, as they can spend weeks engraving the runes for a single object. The resolute stillness of a mountain, however, can be provoked to the destruction and chaos of an avalanche of stones. These mages are also marked by the wise for their tempers, which can be just as great as their patience.
