- In this thread, it was accepted that bloodbending has layers to it. However, I forgot to propose a baseline Resistance to Blood Manipulation and Body Puppetry for all human characters due to the chi field in their bodies. So I’m rectifying that now.
- The Spiritbending technique under Korra and Unalaq should include Purification and Chaos Manipulation. The fact that it can purify spirits is already listed under Korra’s profile, but the actual ability is not. The technique works by pushing spirits towards balance or imbalance, with the show clarifying that darkness and imbalance are intertwined together. The former text comes from the ttrpg, and the way it’s worded implies that anyone who can use the purification aspect of the technique can also use the chaotic aspect of it. Contrast that to the way the lightningbending technique is written, where it states that not everyone who can generate lightning can also redirect it, and vice-versa. In addition, Spiritbending should have Limited Matter Manipulation. Spirits can shift themselves into different phases of matter, and when Korra derstroys them with spiritbending, she’s turning them into a different kind of energy. Since the technique failed to work on the vines that covered Republic City, this is why it should be limited.
- All Avatars should have baseline Resistance to Power Nullification. Korra was able to unlock and enter the Avatar state after her chi had been permanently sealed off by Amon.
- Raava, Vaatu, Unavaatu, and Cosmic Korra should all have Resistance to Poison by virtue of being spirits.
- Katara and all of the avatars should have Underwater Breathing Type 4 via being able to create air pockets underwater. The avatars should also get Type 2; according to the Avatar creators on the Braving the Elements podcast, Aang was able to survive in the Iceberg by using subtle airbending to remove oxygen from the water (the comment occurs around 2:30). They also state that Raava’s energy played a role in keeping him alive.
- Speaking of that Podcast clip, Aang was in the Avatar state the entire time he was frozen for a hundred years. This would mean that he and the other avatars while in the Avatar state qualify for Self-Sustenance Types 2 and 3, since they did not need to eat, drink or sleep for that amount of time.
- Cosmic Korra should get Self-Deconstruction via being able to deconstruct herself into spirit particles. I wasn’t sure what else to call this, so perhaps someone else could come up with a better ability.
Here’s the big one. In the Day of Black Sun Part 2, Ozai is able to feel the solar eclipse ending and immediately uses his bending to attack Zuko. In the clip, you can see the light from the sun expanding out from the left side, and it takes Ozai 2.25 seconds to react. True, he’s not seeing the actual light from the sun and reacting to it, but he can feel/sense it. Truly skilled people in the verse can sense what is happening when it comes to cosmic-related stuff. and it takes light 1.25 seconds to reach the earth from the moon and vice-versa. We later see in Korra that the Avatar world’s moon is at a similar distance that our real life moon is. This means that Ozai and everyone who scales to him would have Relativistic+ combat speed.
