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 special.



Contained inside Katara's Amulet was water from the Northern Water Tribe's Spirit Oasis, sometimes simply called "Spirit Water".

History
Master Pakku gave Katara this water when they parted ways in the episode "The Avatar State". The water was said to have "special properties". Katara was unaware of what specific special properties the water had. She was about to attempt to cure Zuko's scar with it, but while she was looking at his scar, Aang and Iroh burst in and Katara left with Aang. Later, when Aang entered the Avatar State, he was struck by Azula's lightning. To revive Aang, Katara was forced to use the spirit water to heal his fatal wound.

Several weeks later, when told by Zuko that failing to redirect lightning can be fatal, Aang attempts to dismiss this concern, referring to Katara's healing abilities and the Spirit Water; however, he is told by Katara that she had none left after Azula's attack ("Sozin's Comet, Part 1: The Phoenix King").

Trivia

 * Katara uses the Spirit Water to heal someone only once within the series.
