Earth enhancement is the first and most basic ability to learn in earth bending because earth is the most solid and sturdy element. When earth benders use enhancement  they can alter the structure of earth turning it to any kind of earth base substances such as sand, soil, clay and solid rock. Unlike the other three elements Earth enhancement is the only element that has a subtle independence to it this means that any enhancement done to earth stay permanent unless the bender changes it back and earth will stay enhance even if it’s too far away from the user.

Notable Earth Enhancements include:

Earth decompression this ability softens the structure of earth by turning solid rocks to sand or making the ground as soft as clay.

Earth binding it allows earth bender to bind or meld any earth based substances making bigger or larger. There is an opposite for this ability called earth separation it allows earth bender to separate earth base substances adding manipulation makes a greater gathering or separating speed and adding emission make a greater area of effect.

Digging this ability allows earth benders to soften the ground it includes allowing the user to travel through ground and rock in various ways which can be essential for both transportation and for setting up attacks or creating defences or for offence with earth bending.

Rock breaking this allows earth benders to destroy any solid earth base substances with any external force adding emission causes molecular disintegration.

Earth compression this increases the solidity of earth base substances to a point minerals it crystallize due to compression making it harder then reinforces steel but it depends on the substances it is made from for example if the substance is carbon then it can be as hard as a diamond.

Weight manipulation allows earth benders to manipulate the weight on earth based substances.

Synthesis weapons out of earth require manipulation.

Increased or decrease the force of a rock projectile requires manipulation.



Earth manipulation is the second ability to learn in earth bending because earth is physical but not as versatile as water which makes it more difficult to manipulate.

Notable Earth Manipulations include:

Telekinetic control over any earth based substances.

Giving Earth based substances any shape and form either static or dynamic but earth benders are better in making static earth creations. Static are non moving objects such as weapons and objects that are stationary while dynamic are animated things such as animals and humans.

Creating an earth wave for transport.

<p class="MsoNormal">Creating earthquakes and fissure adding emission can cause a greater effect.

<p class="MsoNormal">Manipulation of corpses this is possible because when the body dies it decomposes causing it to dry up and the remains petrify by absorbing the earth around it making the body similar to earth requires emission and enhancement for stability.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Earth emission is the third ability to learn in earth bending because earth is the second least active element next to water. Earth benders only use emission as an extension to the other five bending ability so wind emission alone does nothing. Since earth bender have a very low emission factor for ability that affect the human body they must make direct contact.

<p class="MsoNormal">Notable Earth Emissions Include:

<p class="MsoNormal">Hard fist this ability is similar to rock breaking it allows earth benders to easily break living tissue and bones with external force this is possible because 1/3 of the human body is made up of carbon and the bone are made up of calcium which are both earth based substances to use this technique earth benders must have strong physical strength requires enhancement.

<p class="MsoNormal">Molecular decomposing this ability is similar to petrifaction but it completely breaks down any form of physical matter in a molecular scale causing plants and non-living organic substances to rot and decay and metal to rust in order to create earth requires manipulation, enhancement, and conjuration.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Earth conjuration is the fourth and most difficult ability to learn in earth bending because earth is the most physical element which consumes the most amount of chi in conjuration. When earth benders use conjuration they can synthesis the minerals and substances around them in order to create earth but in order to do that they need to break down their natural components especially wood and metal which requires a large amount of chi and for the limited and when there is a limited amount of solid materials it would require a much greater amount of chi to create earth.

<p class="MsoNormal">Notable Earth Conjurations include:

<p class="MsoNormal">Creation of earth this ability is similar to earth binding but in a molecular scale allowing earth bender to create earth from the tiniest spec as possible.

<p class="MsoNormal">Poison making this ability allows earth benders to synthesis a deadly poison from the harmful earth element the strength of the poison depends on what harmful substances it is make requires manipulation.

<p class="MsoNormal">Petrifaction this ability makes any organic matter loss its fluids causing it dry up turning it into the same substance as earth this only works on plants, non-living organic substances and living things that are already dead requires enhancement and adding emission can give a small chance to effect on living thing but the chances are low.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Earth transmutation is an ability that only the most powerful earth benders possess. It allows Earth benders to mimic the properties of Earth based substances as well as immunity towards earth. It gives them the ability to use seismic sense.

<p class="MsoNormal">Notable Earth Transmutations include:

<p class="MsoNormal">Transmutation of chi to earth based substances it allows earth benders to cover their body with any earth based substances by absorbing the earth that is present around them or use the earth based substances that exist in the human body whether it is partial or full body.

<p class="MsoNormal">Immunity to earth based attacks the level of resistance depends on the user’s level of chi.

<p class="MsoNormal">Absorbing of any earth based substances the amount of absorption depends on the user’s level of chi.

<p class="MsoNormal">Enhance strength

<p class="MsoNormal">Human body transmutation is a ability that allows Earth benders to transmute their entire body to earth which temporary makes them invincible to any physical attack, allows them to easily repair any damage they take and greatly increase their bending powers but there is a strong possibility that they can loss their existence which makes this bending ability forbidden among earth benders.

<p class="MsoNormal">Carbon reinforcing it allows earth benders to make their skin as hard as diamonds this is possible since the human body is 1/3 carbon requires enhancement.

<p class="MsoNormal">Transmutation of objects it allows earth benders to make any object have the properties of earth requires emission.

<p class="MsoNormal">Earth limbs it allows earth benders to cover a part of their bodies with earth which acts as an extension to their limbs the size depends on the level of the user’s chi requires manipulation.

<p class="MsoNormal">Earth avatar it allows earth benders to transform into a earth giant that is make up of earth based substances the size and power varies with the users level of chi and using human body transformation can greatly increase its size and power require manipulation.

<p class="MsoNormal">Seismic sense also known as the sense of the earth this ability is similar to the white eye but it enhances the senses that govern the ground which is touch. It allows earth benders to sense the vibrations through the ground, "seeing" by sensing their surroundings and making a mental image of it. It allows for a 360 degree field of "vision", outside of normal line-of-sight. To operate, the user needs direct contact with the ground, preferably without something like shoes in between.undefinedThe technique is not applicable on all surfaces such as ice. seismic sense can be so acute that earth benders are capable of sensing even ants moving about, can identify people by the way they walk. The advantage of the sense over normal sight is that practitioners are able to pick up things that are barely visible or even imperceptible to the naked eye as well as things out of their line of sight but not as powerful as the white eye because it only senses things that are connected to the ground. But to make up for its lack of insight in the air seismic sense can sense obstacles that would normally obstruct regular vision and things that sound cannot penetrate, such as walls and thick dust clouds, are rendered ineffective against seismic sense. Seismic sense does not only provide surface vision, as the vibrations also travel underground, enabling the user to effectively detect caverns and other deep subterranean cavities.
