Someone brought up air having an invisibility technique involving light bending. Light is not associated with air, and if anything would be associated with fire. However there is the possibility an invisibility technique could be used in airbending. I thought of this awhile ago, and it might be a possible sub ability, or at the very least a new technique. Allow me to explain:

Air is already invisible. So if invisibility was somehow a sub ability of air, it would not be light related. It would be a thick (and extremely dense) cloak of air around the person that would likely have to move, or vibrate. Like heat waves through air on a hot day. The air becomes blurry because the heat speeds up the vibrations making it hard to see through it. If this effect could be obtained artificially (without heat) by airbending, it would be the first step. The second step would be to make the air under that effect extremely dense. The high density of the air would decrease the visibility further. The third step would be to use that as a cloak around yourself by surrounding yourself with the denser vibrating air, and hiding within it.

So it would work like an invisibility cloak but with air. I don't know if you would be completely invisible, but it is likely as close as you would get. The effect of the cloak also might be able to be spotted, although it wouldn't be as easy to spot if you weren't looking for it. Maybe it would be more effective in darker places?
