About
The Spirit of Earth is one of five powerful elemental spirits known as the Grand Elemental Spirits(Godaiseirei), of the Patch Tribe. They are derived from the Great Spirit itself, and like it, constitute a collective of souls. They can be controlled by their respective Elemental Warrior, or a shaman of extraordinary power (like Asakura Hao). The power of the Godaiseirei is unmatched by any other spirit, except for maybe the Great Spirit itself.

According to Pascal Avaf, the Spirit of Earth gives life to plants and creates metal. Also according to the recent Kang Zeng Bang Data the Spirit of Earth has the same abilities as the Spirit of Fire to become stronger, by consuming souls.

Past
After Patch Hao stole the Spirit of Fire, it was hidden by the Patch Tribe to avoid any other of the Grand Elemental Spirits to be stolen, within the depths of hell and guarded by Enma Daioh, the greatest of the four Kings of Hell.

Present
Sati and the Gandhara went to Hell to get the five elemental spirits and deliver them to the five elemental warriors. The Spirit of Earth was given to Yoh.

Attacks


 * Attraction (引力): This attack relies upon the principle of using the significant gravitational forces generated by the real Earth's large mass, to attract anything towards the Spirit of Earth, altering the trajectory of incoming attacks to avoid damage. As such, the technique acts as an effective defensive move, even protecting from the large number of meteors that the O.S. Great Spirit can produce.
