+#####R === ToME Magic - Geomancy ===
+Geomancy harnesses the power of nature to awesome effect. Therefore neither
+books nor light are necessary, and as the geomancers's skill increases, so do
+his powers over the elements of nature.
+
+Because Geomancy relies so heavily on the environment, you will need
+sufficient knowledge of the elemental skills (Earth, Air, Fire and Water) in
+order to cast some of the spells, and the exact effects of a spell often
+depend upon your levels in the elemental skills and your current surroundings.
+
+The powers are accessed using the 'm' key and then selecting 'Use Geomancy';
+they are cast with spell points, like normal spells, which can be increased
+as usual through the *****skills.txt*21[Magic] skill.
