This is my most current elemental chart for Avatar the last Airbender. It’s gone through many different versions but I’m really happy with how this one turned out.
I’ve included my old versions for reference.
Central area: The four classic with Energy bending in the center.
Inner Circle: Basic sub-skills most benders can use.
Outer Circle: Advanced sub-skills that are difficult to learn.
Outer Edge: True power of the Element. Only achieved when you master the spiritual side of that Element.
AGILITY: Heightened sensitivity, speed, and reaction.
LEVITATION: Able to float in the air.
VORTEX: Able to send air compression blasts at your opponent, similar to a vortex cannon.
CLOUD: Able to create a cloud to ride on as seen in LOK and “Journey to the West”.
ICE: Able to bend Ice and turn water into Ice.
HEALING: Able to energize water for healing purposes.
PLANT: Able to bend plants by bending the water in them.
BLOOD: Able to bend animals by bending the water in them.
SAND: Able to control earth as sand, dirt, or a granulated state.
METAL: Able to bend metal.
MINERAL: Able to bend large Crystals.
LAVA: Able to bend Lava or earth in a molten state.
FLAME: Able to alter your flame in fire bending. Make it hotter = blue fire. Also includes sensing chi with fire.
LIGHTNING: Able to produce or redirect lightning.
HEAT: Able to manipulate heat.
COMBUSTION: Able to make explosions with firebending such as Combustion Man, or when Zuko failed to learn Lightning bending.
I am an Earth Science Teacher who studied the four elements in university. I hope to make a series on the science within Bending.
