12 Bending Techniques In Avatar The Last Airbender

Bloodbending appears in Aang and Korra's stories. Some explore making it less sinister. Bloodbenders could fly if done right; they could help people. Still, this must stay heavily controlled.

Lavabending appeared in the Legend of Korra. This unique earthbending technique lets earthbenders heat and cool the earth they bend. They also make super sharp lava discs. We want to see more of this.

Fire Nation sages sensed spiritual energy in Korra when she sought their help. We want to see what this means. Can firebenders change energy inside someone? Can they heal people like waterbenders?

Team Avatar explores the desert. Toph makes a small Ba Sing See in the sand. ATLA hints at a sandbender culture in the desert when Appa is kidnapped. We want to see how sandbending differs from earthbending styles. Does it look like waterbending?

One theory claims Monk Gyatso alone defeatedthe Fire Nation army by sucking all air from the room. This explains why he has no burns on his skeleton. Zahir also shows this idea in Legend of Korra.Zahir explores this idea in Legend of Korra. He sucks out all the air in a room. This explains why he has no burns on his skeleton.

The Legend of Korra touches on flying with Zahir. He got this skill by losing everyone he loved. Is there another way to start flying? We want answers, especially since Legend of Korra brought back the Air Nation.

When Aang tries the avatar state with Guru Pathik, he meets a huge celestial Aang. We need more explanation for this version of Aang. Could it lead to other 'chakra bending' involving him or others? Aang might learn other people's chakras or memories, or reach enlightenment to access this celestial self.

Toph uses earthbending for seismic sense to 'see' surroundings. She teaches this to Aang, who uses it against Ozai. We should see this used more by the Beifong sisters and other characters. This earthbending form offers an innovative, useful way to occupy the world, especially for blind people.

Aang and Korra both learn spirit bending. We thought this skill belonged only to the Avatar. Unalaq showed it is also a waterbending skill. Does this skill stay with waterbenders? Ozai fought Aang's spirit bending. This suggests each person has control over their spirit. How can spirit bending not be a dark form of bending that controls people against their will? We want answers to these questions.

We have seen little combustion bending. We do not know how it starts or works. Can any firebender achieve this? We have many questions about this deadly, yet cool-looking, bending form.

u/MajinObin posted about 'Bonebending' in the list '12 Bending Techniques In Avatar The Last Airbender'.This user theorizes that earthbenders target inorganic material. They can target calcium in human bones. If true—and this is just a guess—earthbenders might heal like waterbenders. If earthbenders only bend their own bones, they boost their strength and speed. This sounds almost scarier than bloodbending.This user theorizes that earthbenders target inorganic material. They can target calcium in human bones.

Airbenders can manipulate air. Can they also manipulate the sounds in the air? If used right, airbenders can amplify sounds, send them across yards, or make them quiet. These sounds can provide blunt force or let them listen into secret meetings.
