In the last episode, Sokka said that from the beginning of bending, there have been people blessed with strange bending abilities. For example, a waterbender can heal and can blood bend, a firebender can both shoot and direct lightning, and earthbenders can bend metal. The bending arts are not specifically earth, water, fire, and air. Also, people forget of the fifth element, spirit, that can probably be as diverse (if not more so) than the rest of the elements. Again, we also know that some of those people can redirect or lessen the power of bending like when Katara took control of her body when Hama blood bended her. So, taking all of these things, it's not much of a stretch to think that Amon could be one of these gifted people who is able to bend the fifth element or become less hurt when others bend against him.
