[edit] Final Fantasy Tactics

Geomancy, also known as Elemental is a Geomancer's Command ability. It is not so much affected by the surroundings rather than the actual square the character is standing on. E.G. a battle could have regular ground, bits of rock, wood, and snow in the same stage, and each of this things triggers a different attack, if the attack has been learned.

[edit] Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

The Elementalist's Spirit Magic function like the Terrain command, except it does not require the caster to be standing on any specific terrain square.
