Earth gauntlets now have new particles to support this new mechanic.
Earth boulder has been updated to now have three distinct sizes of boulder. Small, medium and large. Small boulders require no charge and can be fired quickly, medium boulders require level 1 charge and are heavier but do much more damage. Lv2 boulders are very heavy and tough, they will kill most enemies they hit but are hard to control.
Earth wall has had some reworks, the gesture has been changed from an uppercut to palm facing down, then pulling upwards motion. See the in game menu for a video on how to cast this.
Earth walls are now physical objects and can be pushed over and manipulated.
Earth walls can be gripped and punched to travel faster across flat ground.
Earth gauntlet and shield now have more health
Earth gauntlet and shield now no longer react to power punch while in the player hand. This fixes a lot of bugs that sent the player flying.

All earth spells have had their damages adjusted
