Ever since you were young, you've had a love for the beauty hidden inside rocks and mountains. You trained and studied, either through real-world exploration or in the dusty libraries of a college, and have become an expert at identifying, cataloging, and appreciating rocks, gemstones, and metals.

You have an uncanny knack for ascertaining the features of the underlying geology and bedrock based on surface soil and plant conditions. You understand which types of rock are likely to yield precious metals and minerals. This geological knowledge might possibly also come in handy in predicting where lava and underground water might be found.
