Geomancer

[Archwizard]

Has anyone found out why Kyo only focuses on wind and water? His school for Geomancy is now functional and he is teaching them in the art of "Wind and Water" only. I guess it could come down to mainland Geomancy vs Hingashi but it seems odd for a class so focused on only three elements as is, to have an npc open a school only focusing on two of them.

I have been looking all over but I can't actually find anything but it's really irritating me that we have no explanation (yet).

Because Geomancer's Japanese name is Feng Shui Soldier, and Feng Shui literally translates to "wind-water".

I haven't heard anything about him only teaching the arts of Wind and Water though, just that "of Wind and Water" is his title.

So the Stone part of the barrier of Kugane, them being masters of wind, water and stone in the lore book, the stone portion of Swallow's Compass was just a red herring?

I just found it weird that something that is said to focus so much on the three elements has an npc focusing on two.

Sure, but I haven't seen anything suggesting that he wouldn't teach them Earth magic as well? He seems to utilize all three elements himself, and I just figured his English title was a result of direct (albeit flowery) translation.

I had just watched the Astro 80 quest last night where he says the line "something something I am teaching them the ways of wind and water" which is probably just translation side. He's probably Kyo of Feng Shui and teaching them Feng Shui at the school.

I rewatched Foxfire to make sure he actually uses Qi of Earth I was second guessing myself. xD Also while watching we see he uses two different elemental spells Qi of Wind and Qi or Earth, has a heal Qi of Water and what looks to be an instant cast after some Winds that he casts? I could have been seeing things because youtube is only so great a resource when it's a job quest and they are focused on fighting and you're trying to watch what the guy with the pink boots is doing.
