Anyone ever wondered if the Air Acolytes will recieve bending by two means? Artifical and spirtual? This is what I mean.

Artificial: A genius invents it. Remember the electric gloves Hiroshi built? Why can't one be fashioned to blow out compressed air and/or sound and, tada, artificial airbending. It probably won't be as powerful as a full fledged airbender, but airbending would return to the world. Altough I could understand how this can be done for firebending as well. Or, in a future series set down the line, people can get sugery to their hands & feet that insert machinery into their bodies that siimulate bending. Again, this would probably only happen for fire & air bending since they require no resources.

Spiritual: An air acolyte becomes so spiritual that he/she crosses into the spiritual world and the spirits of all the past air nomad avatars grants him/her the gift of airbending. This continues with other air acolytes who become spiritually enlightened, therefore rebuilding the air nomad culture. Or, a more simpler way, energy bending can give bending to non benders and Korra restores the air nomads herself.
