So I have a player who is playing an Earth School Wizard who took the Spell Focus feat. He wanted to do Earth instead of the usual schools. After thinking about it I said ok, that it only apply to spells that carry the Earth descriptor. Is this too little bang for the buck?

There's already a feat that does that in the APG, so probably not: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/advanced/advancedFeats.html#elemental-fo cus

Elemental Focus just focuses on spells that to energy damage.

Without counting spells per level, I thinkd its at least as useful as Spell Focus (abjuration).

Earth spells are often conjuration spells. A simple Spell Focus(Conjuration) will grant him same benefits. Elemental Spell(Acid) might also be idea since Acid is somewhat connected with earth spells often.

I would say the Earth descriptor and the Acid descriptor.

Why not simply allow Spell Focus(Earth) to provide the benefit to all spells included in the Earth School?

That is what I actually said at the table and is my original thought. Though I am @Malag because he is right then followed up with transmutation. I am about to send a txt to the player and talk about it.
