It has never been clear what methods the fire sages use to identify the avatar, but it is known that in the air nomad culture the monks introduce the children to an array of toys and when the toys of previous avatars are all selected they can tell that the child has a spiritual connection to them and is the Avatar. It has been stated that the Fire Sages have a similar selection technique, but it has never been clarified what that technique is.
