Why Elemental Regen =/= Elemental Reforming

[CNBA3]

This is not a CTR (unless future comments suggest otherwise) this is just my take on why Elemental Regen is not the same as Elemental Reformation via Elemental Intangibility. As this wikis’ standards seems to make it out that the two are interchangeable, why I believe that not to be the case.

Where the former is where the users actually suffers physical damage ad would need their elements to regenerate or heal (Kuzan with his leg, Ur with her Leg, Katara while not with on herself with Water Bending, Guardians with Solar Light).

• Even on it’s official definition Regeneration means to form new tissue on the body to regenerate or heal. That would imply that anyone who attacks them automatically has atomic/molecular destruction and forces them to generate new parts of the body via elements.

Elemental intangibility is simply that, turning their bodies into elements in order to avoid damage, let their bodies crumble into their elements so that they can reform from preexisting elements back to their original forms.

We have examples of vehicles regenerating on the regeneration page. This is blatantly wrong.

It would be elemental regen and elemental reforming for specific elemental states

But not for original tangible bodies that use the other ability for the purpose to change into something else to deconstruct oneself to protect their real tangible body with intangibility, that is my point.

It would be elemental regeneration if the elements themselves or pure states were damaged via molecular or atomic destruction so it can grow new matter to replace the damage or loss material.

EDIT: How Regeneration works is the the original body is damaged or losing parts grows new limbs or parts to replace it. That is for any organic or non organic beings of the “true body”.

Elemental Intangibility is a way to avoid getting hurt in the first place. A layer of defense that prevents their real body from being damaged, since conventional attacks can’t really “hurt” elements that can be broken down and reformed with ease. Unless the entities true bodies are pure elements which would require other means to harm them, molecular destruction, NPI or power null.

From the wiki page “Intangibility is the ability to pass through things physically. Characters with this ability are simply unaffected by attacks, as they pass through their bodies. This can also allow them to pass through walls and other physical objects.”
