Sorcerers of the Sand (CShaH)

__TOC__
Sorcerers with spells from the realm of sand are steadfast and dedicated. They have very deeply rooted opinions, which they hold very close to their hearts. While their thoughts may momentarily change, their base attitudes are as eternal as the desert.
Sorcerers with the spells of sand have a tendency to be more physical than other sorcerers. They love the feel of the sand on their feet and hands, and they are willing to work the land. Hard, physical labor is of no consequence to them, and as a result sorcerers of the sand are often much more physically fit than others of their ilk. On the down side, sorcerers of the sand are prone to long debates on even the simplest of dilemmas. They tend toward caution in most circumstances, knowing full well what hazards the sands of life may conceal. Unfortunately, this caution is often seen as indecisiveness by their companions. A sand sorcerer should not be rushed. If he is, his complaints will often be heard for days. Indeed, sorcerers of the sand never forget a slight.
As the sand of the desert either borders on or contains all other elements, the sorcerers who study it are the most accepting of other schools. No sand mage will dismiss a sorcerer who doesn't study the earth, but will instead discuss with such a sorcerer the benefits of different elements. In situations where this may lead to conflict, or when another sorcerer disparages the sand, the sorcerers of the sand are not above standing their ground. While they are not prone to seeking fights, they are as harsh and unyielding as the deserts of Zakhara when so engaged.
