WARNING!
This article is Work-In-Progress! It's not quite ready for prime-time, but might show some very early work.
Overview
Geomancer training gives your character the ability to manipulate the elements of the world around them: they are the fury of a snowstorm in the arctic and the brutality of the sun in the desert. Geomancers tend to be fairly defensive, and recieve bonuses to Stamina and Willpower. Though most of their abilities are spells, geomancers are not pure spellcasters, and can stand up to fairly consistent attacks from any source. Geomancers usually play the role of a damage-dealer or enemy debilitator, but their role can depend on their terrain: geomancers on the plains make great healers, for instance.
Geomancer Statistics
Base Statistics
Because Geomancers already have a high Stamina and Willpower, many add to this with a high Constitution and a high Wisdom, which certainly fits their mold. Strength and Intelligence are usually second-tier stats for Geomancers, helping them match their defensive capability with something aggressive.

NOTE: Terrain
Geomancer powers depend on the element of the terrain and weather they are in. The elements of these features dictate the effect of their Gaia powers. For instance, a Geomancer may use a Gaia ability of a given level in a Holy-based terrain (such as an open field), and have it be a different power from that same level's power used in a Water-based terrain (such as at sea).
Geomancers have a limited ability to change the element they can call on, using the Channel Element attack to change either the terrain or the weather to any "adjascent" element (though this has no effect on the terrain or weather's other effects, merely what the geomancer can use). Using the ability multiple times can shift the element to what the Geomancer wants to use, but it will always be easier and more powerful to use abilities in the default terrain than to change terrain.
A player should note the weather element and the terrain element whenever they enter combat: this will give them the knowledge they need to use their abilities wisely.
Geomancer Features
These are attack, defense, and limit break options for a Geomancer:
Channel Element
Channel Element
You deal damage to the enemy based on the element associated with your current terrain. You can choose any element that is adjacent to the current terrain element on the Element Hierarchy. The terrain element then becomes that element until the encounter is over (when the original element re-asserts itself) or you shift the element again. When you perform this attack, all of your basic attack damage is of the chosen element, and you take a Delay of 5.
Adapt
Adapt
When you take Full Defense, you gain Resistance to the current element associated with the terrain. In exchange, you do not recover MP.
Lifestream
Lifestream
LIMIT BREAK!
You heal four party members. Each party member recovers HP equal to 4 x (Magick Power).
Gaia
"Gaia" is the job ability of Geomancers. The suite of Gaia abilities you have access to will vary with the terrain's element, and the weather's element, as noted above. Most Gaia abilities are Spells.
