Energybending may be seen as a deus ex machina - a plot device that has been foreshadowed little, if at all, before being introduced to easily solve a complex problem. However, it has been stated by the creators that the idea had been devised even before the pilot was picked up. In 2003, the creators brainstormed several ideas that made it into the final season, one of which was that Ozai would not be killed by Aang; instead, he would be stripped of his powers using a technique available only to Avatars. However, they did not know exactly what the technique was until later.

AVAILABLE ONLY TO AVATARS.
