Spirit water

"water"

- This is water from the Spirit Oasis in the North Pole. It has special properties, so I've been saving it for something important.



Katara's amulet was given to Katara as a gift from Pakku just before Team Avatar's journey to Earth Kingdom. The vial contained a small amount of water from the Northern Water Tribe's Spirit Oasis, also known as "Spirit Water".

History
Master Pakku gave Katara this amulet, filled with Spirit Water when Team Avatar departed from the Northern Water Tribe. The water was said to have special properties, though Katara was unaware of the specifics.

Later, when Katara was imprisoned in the Crystal Catacombs of Old Ba Sing Se with Zuko, she attempted to heal Zuko's scar with it, but before she had the chance to proceed, Aang and Iroh burst in and she left with Aang. Shortly after, during the battle that ensued between Azula, Zuko, Aang and Katara, Aang entered the Avatar State and was struck by Azula's lightning. To revive Aang, Katara healed his fatal wound, using up the Spirit Water in the process.



Several weeks later, when told by Zuko that failing to redirect lightning can be fatal, Aang attempted to dismiss this concern, referring to Katara's healing abilities and the Spirit Water; however, he was told by Katara that she had none left after Azula's attack.

A curious fact is that after healing Aang, the oasis water disappeared, as if it had been "used up".
