Yeah, I know. But Semblances that allow control over an aspect or element already covered by Dust are usually frowned upon. I can't very well make a Semblance that gives a guy control over gravity akin to Pyrrha's control over polarity, not if Gravity is an actual Dust type.

And Earth as an element, in literally every branch of media I've ever come across where it was included, is one of those foundation elements that is used to build up... everything else. Everything comes from Earth, not the other way around. I'm fine with Lightning being a core Dust type, but not if Earth is butted out because of it. Fire, Water, Earth, Wind makes sense. Fire, Water, Lightning, Earth ALSO would make sense. Fire, Water, Lightning, and Wind does NOT make ANY sense.
