What are some good Earth-Flavored Spells for sorcerers/wizards?

Thinking of playing a dwarf sorcerer that specializes in earth based combat and support spells.

My first thoughts on hearing Dwarf, Earth theme and spontaneous casting is the Spontaneous Druid variant. Nice sorcerer style feel, lots of more earthy-feeling spells, some good old dwarven toughness (d4 HD? Feels like a poncy elf or a nerdy human, not a dwarf), plus if the rest of the party is a bit lower-op, you have the sorcerer's limitations and Druid's weaker spell list, so don't hopefully break the game apart so horribly. Hard to screw the character up, too.

As much as I hate to recommend the class, have you looked into Wu Jen? They have a little pile of earth damage spells.

Do you have access to either Complete Divine or Oriental Adventures?

The Shugenja sounds right up your alley, and you could pick Earth as your specialist element.

Even if you can't/won't/don't-want-to use the Shugenja, the spell lists for Earth element and the related orders could be very helpful.

Edit: To clarify, the Shugenja is a spontaneous divine caster who casts off of charisma. So it plays/feels very much like a sorcerer.

If you look in pathfinder, there is an arcane specialization school for the Earth element that you could look in to. Online there are a list of spells that fit into this category, which would allow you to know what spells are generally earth based.
