Earth/Sand Manipulation = Glass Manipulation

[Landon_Avery]

My argument is simple, glass is made intierly out of sand, and as such I think Glass Manipulation should be add under "Possible Uses" for Earth and/or Sand Manipulation...or perhaps given it own page.

But what do you think?

I agree with this 100%

and not because I'm made of glass myself.

 

[Landon_Avery]

Bump

This feel like a case by case kind of thing. Not everyone that can manipulate Earth and Sand can manipulate glass; in fact very few can that I know of.

I can't even think of an example of someone useing Glass Manipulation, I'm just saying glass is made of sand so there's no reason someone who can contral sand can't also control glass.

Well, they have very different properties and uses. Liquid water, ice and steam are all essentially water but somebody that has been seen to manipulate exclusively ice doesn't have 'Possible Steam Manipulation' on their profile.

That's why it would be under POSSIBLE uses.

For it to be possible it needs to at least be hinted at in the story or by the characters. Otherwise it is just too speculative. Sand manipulation doesn't warrant glass manipulation IMO.

Too broad.

It requires making assumptions that should not be made.

It's the same as saying all Metalbenders can manipulate Earth, so all Earthbenders can manipulate metal, which is untrue.

It's also the same as saying all Ice Users can manipulate water since Water Users can manipulate ice, which is also untrue.

I agree with Reppuzan.
