Earth Bending
----------------

Crystal Bending - The ability to bend various gems found within the earth, though Metal and Earth bending are more useful in combat. Crystal bending can be used to bend gems and precious crystals found in the earth, however due to the scarcity of gems in certain areas, this skill is taught mostly to Earth Kingdom Miners, Jewel-Crafters and Jewellers, though select few have taken it up as an art.

Metal Bending - The ability to bend metal and metal alloys within the Earth, or around you. Anything from gold, silver, and even iron (so long as it is a metal) can be bent through this form of bending. It takes a long time to learn and master, and even longer to reach the point in Earth Bending where you can begin using this, however, those who can have a good asset in a fight.

Sand Bending - The ability to bend and control up to large masses of finely grained sand and utilize it in battle. Unlike normal earth, sand is a lot more fluidity to it's movement, allowing it to be manipulated in a way that has only ever been seen with water bending. Sand bending is a powerful form of earth bending, being able to be utilized as both a means of offense as well as defense. Benders who use sand bending are also able to crush other minerals such as pure rock to create more sand in which they can use in battle.

Water Bending

Ice Bending - Water benders who are so skilled at water bending, that their abilities extend to the manipulation and even conjuration of ice, to the point where they can bend it to their whim as if it were a fluid itself.

Blood Bending - The ability to control the life giving liquid in ones body, the user can withdraw it and use it as an attack form.

Lightning Bending - The ability to call forth Lightning and bend it to the users will. The lightning is as fast as the speed of sound, if not slightly slower.

The user must first take three seconds to conduct the lightning however, and there must be at least one cloud in the sky.

Lava Bending - The ability to manipulate and bend lava and magma. Even though it is just an advanced form of bending fire, used mainly by Fire Bending Masters, it is given it's own name respectively.

Sound Bending - A specialized form of Air Bending in which air benders can create or manipulate existing sound waves to their whim. The sound waves can be increased in frequency, force, speed, or even thickness. The power of this ability is determined by the user's rank. The users themselves can even build up air in their ears to make them immune to high frequency sound waves, but the user must be a Master of Air bending in order to clog air in their ears, because if they make a mistake their head will explode. Sound benders can even create new sound-waves to utilize in battle instead of only being able to manipulate existing ones.

Mind Bending - The ability to read, and control another person's mind. However, those with a strong enough mind can reject the controller's bending, and thus prevent themselves from being enslaved by the bender.

Mind Benders can also do a 1 on 1 mind bend, where they enter the mind of their target and control their body from the inside.

Second Bending Element

You can learn to bend a second element but you character must first experience two great pains, the first must be a physical pain, some examples are--but not limited to:

- Being close to death
- bleeding out but surviving
- Loosing a lung or other vital organ and surviving

The second is great emotional pain, some examples of these are--but not limited to:

- Killing a loved family member
- Killing your lover
- Father/mother tries to kill you
- Loosing your entire family as a young child

Once your character has experienced both of these, please then check with an Admin and prove it to them--show them the post or part of your character's history from the character application--and wait for their approval. Note that just because your character matches the criteria does not mean that the Admins will say yes all the time.

As of late, there have also been other ways a character may bend two elements:

1. If your character has a history of two bending elements in his/her family's past.

2. Your characters parents were of two different elements.
