The abilities of this state are not just limited to manipulation of the element in question. The user in a way is the Earth itself. As such they are as strong and as durable as the Earth. This grants them nearly unmatched strength as they possess the strength to shake the very world in their hands. This also makes physical attacks virtually useless as a physical attack would need enough force to destroy the Earth itself in order to kill a user of Earth Embodiment. One would expect the user of this technique to be lacking in speed, but in lieu with the ability's theme, the user is also as fast as the Earth.
