Sand (province)

The province of sand in the Zakharan view of magic was a group of spells related to the element of earth, taking its name from one of its most common forms in the desert lands of the Land of Fate. Many of its spells contain and use sand as an essential part. The four elemental provinces played a very similar role for Zakharan magic-users than the eight (or nine) schools of magic did for Faerûnian ones. Elemental mages in Zakhara specialized exclusively on one province, like sand, while sorcerers took spells from two provinces, shunning the other two. Unlike for elementalists, no oppositions between any of the four elements were recoginized in the Land of Fate.
