    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.
