Its when the Avatar Spirit takes control of the current avatar which is hosting it. Usually when something very bad is happening. When this occurs the avatar is at their most powerful as they fight with the knowledge and power of all the previous avatars, however if they are killed in the avatar state the actual spirit is killed along with the host which ends the avatar cycle. When an avatar is fully realized they learn to control the avatar spirit and can go in and out of the avatar state at will and while in it they have complete control of their actions.
