<p>No one talks about the full moon limit because it hasn't come up since then. The limit wasn't abolished, everyone said quite plainly that Yakone happened to be born with the ability to bypass the limit. </p><p>Regarding "Negative Healing," I don't think so. The reason that "corrupting" a human soul will destroy it is the same reason that "purifying" Vaatu will destroy him--they have no "other half." Converting their Chi simply destroys them. And the technique only works on Spirits. "Negative Healing" would probably, if anything, disrupt the Healing process, not reverse it. </p><p>But supposing that I'm wrong & you can do that, why would it be a problem? Heck, any waterbender that touches water to a person can hurt them, they don't need to use "Negative Healing." </p><p>Certainly makes more sense than claiming that you can heal someone by setting them on fire, or that you can airbend your soul outside of your body. </p>

To be fair, bloodbending without a full moon has only been done by Yakone and his sons. This doesn't appear to be commonplace nor is it easily learned.</div>
Well, yes only three person showed this abilities. But no one ever talks about the full moon limit anymore after the season finale of Book Air. Once they made it limitless and psychic, it's in the realm of possibilities. <p>And it doesnt change the fact that it's OP. It's the ultimate win button.

<p>In complete fairness, the Wiki itself doesn't really have any special information. It's based either on the observations of fans or citations to other sources. </p><p>In fact, I think I might have added that, based on the facts that Yakone seemed unable to knock out the court room until he had his hands free, & Amon used his hands whenever he wanted to do any kind of major bloodbending. </p>

<div class="quote"><i> <p>lightning (ATLA)] early? yes redirected in episode 13, generated in 20. make sense? honestly, not really. it isn't fire BUT it was early enough. OP? replace fire? nope, it takes long to generate so only sometimes used. also only a few firebenders can do it. PASS </p><p>healing] early? yeah kinda. episode 16. make sense? eeeeh, not sure. I mean the body IS made of water. BUT its early. OP? a little bit BUT not if only some waterbenders can do it. and it DOES take longer the worse the injury PASS </p><p>seismic sense] early? eeeeh getting later, season 2 episode 6. make sense? yeah, if you can manipulate earth why not feel the vibrations like echo location. OP? I do think they made it a little OP toph. she was too good, especially for a 12 year old. still, it had it's weaknesses. PASS (but, it'd be better if a user didn't know absolutely everything on the ground around them). </p><p>plantbending] early? doesn't matter cuz.... make sense? yeah, its just water bending. OP? nope not at all. plants aren't any super material. also, have different properties than straight water, making them have different uses in combat. PASS </p><p>metalbending (ATLA)] early? nope. make sense? it does, it IS earth. OP? ok, sort of. not really at first, for the user has to be touching it. it becomes OP at the end when toph bends it like normal earth. that was stupid. also, metal isn't everywhere to make earth redundant. PASS (except at the end) </p><p>combustion] early? nope. make sense? sort of, it IS fire. just bent in a different way. also, as a rare freak thing its ok. OP? somewhat, but remember, he was defeated by a nonbender. it has a good enough weakness to make it not OP. PASS </p><p>bloodbending (ATLA)] early? nope. make sense? yep, it IS bending water. OP? NOT since it can only be done during the full moon. PASS </p><p>energybending] early? nope. make sense? eeeeh, not really. it isn't even part of a previous element. OP? a little bit. but you have to get to someone first. so no FAIL but kind of acceptable. first one I don't like. would've liked it if it was shown or at least alluded to earlier. but I accept it due to the fact that the writers didn't have much choice </p><p>now getting into LOK, the first question doesn't even need to be asked anymore </p><p>lightning (LOK)] make sense? was established previously. OP? yeah, it kinda is now that any firebender can do it. and it requires little motion to do. effectively replacing fire in combat. FAIL </p><p>metalbending (LOK)] make sense? yeah. OP? It is now that they can bend it like normal earth. metal is a hard substance to compete with. and its too easy to destroy machines now. FAIL </p><p>bloodbending (LOK)] make sense? yeah. OP? heeeelllz yeah. makes it boring when you can do it all the time. makes someone practically unbeatable. and makes more uninteresting fights. replaces normal water completely. FAIL and it can take away bending! way OP! EPIC FAIL </p><p>waterbending spirit calming stuff] make sense? nope not at all. why does water turn yellow and calm spirits? OP? yep, against spirits it is. FAIL </p><p>wan making prison magic ball for vaatu] uuuuh what? FAIL </p><p>..uuuh spirit projection? or something? ] make sense? ummmm I guess that's what aang did in book 1. OP? not before but NOW that you can communicate with others it is. that's dumb. it is also done to easily. aang could only do it in very spiritual places . FAIL </p><p>lavabending] make sense? well, I guess so. It IS earth afterall. OP? HEEELL YEAH! makes normal earth totally pointless. and lava is deadly is hell. water should be the only element that can change states of matter. lavabending should only be possible to the avatar AND only lava that is already there. even the avatar shouldn't be able to change normal earth to lava. that's too OP. FAIL </p><p>I probably missed a ton in season 2 of LOK. so much stupid shit happened that season I cant even remember it. I don't really want to. </p><p>so what do you guys think? I think its much better writing to establish abilities early on and write with that. its too easy to just keeping adding new crap. that's one of the things I originally loved about avatar, it was the first fantasy story i'd seen that seemed to have fixed defined rules with it's powers. like a real universe. </p><p>many other stories (harry potter, lotr, even star wars a little bit) have always had much more ambiguously defined fantasy powers. giving the writer to much freedom. while those stories are great, that IS one aspect of them I don't like. </p><p>these reasons are a big chunk of why I don't like LOK. though there are other reasons. </p><p>if you've read this whole thing, or even a good portion of it, thank you. feel free to voice your opinion whatever it may be. i'd love to discuss this subject. </p> </i></div>
<p>1 . Lightning: Lightning makes sense once you consider the fact that fire is the element of power. Lightning is pure power brought together by two opposing energies. So it makes sense at least to me. </p><p>2. Healing: definately makes sense. It's not over powered because in the original series because in the NWT they only taught it to the women who were the healers and the men were trained for combat. In LOK I think its probably different but I'd say you wouldnt really have the time to stop and heal yourself in the middle of a fight. </p><p>3. Seismic Sense: Makes perfect sense. It was created for Toph's character I beleive just purely for the factor that it made her disability relatively redundent. She wasn't ever OP it was just her character. She was so experienced because she had to be otherwise she wouldn't have been able to lead the life she did. </p><p>4.Plant bending: No arguements here. </p><p>5. Metalbending: makes perfect sense. I loved how they used Toph's heightend seismic sense to discover a way to metalbend since it was a big plot point for a majority of Season 1 and 2. </p><p>6. Combustion: this one was a little farfetched to me... I mean why the evil third eye thing? And the idea that it's a mental kind of power? I get the whole combustion thing though. </p><p>7. Bloodbending: its perfect. i love it. it makes sense. brilliant idea. </p><p>8. water bending spirtit thing: another form of healing b ut this time instead of people its spirits. It makes sense its literally just healing a spirit of the darkness. Simple. </p><p>9.Wan: that is a standard avatar ultimate move check the series finale of TLA because Aang does it too but he's inside it using it as a weapon. </p><p>10. Spirit Projection: I dont get this one. I really dont.  </p><p>11. Lavabending: I kinda agree with you about only the avatar being able to do it since its kinda mixture of earth and fire bending however I suppose it could be like Ice and Snow bending but instead of cooling its heating.  </p><p>12. Energybending: It's the original form of bending before the four tha we know. trust me its ok but it is super op. </p><p>I think overall you're forgetting that with the passing of time more and more people are going to learn and create new techniques. Just like everything else bending styles and forms will advance to become more easier and less challenging.  </p>

<p>First of all, I know I am going to sound like a total idiot but, please tell me what op means </p>

<p>OP: Overpowered. </p><p>2: What? What does gender roles have to do with OPness? </p><p>9: He mans when the ball turns into an energy cage that traps Vaatu. </p><p>10: What's to not get? It's just projecting your soul outside of your body. </p><p>12: Energybending made a lot more sense before it allowed you to create a giant spirit projection thing. I'm hoping that's only possible during Harmonic Convergence, or something like that. </p>

<p>I think they were just referencing the gender roles in ATLA. </p><p>But what type of bending would control energybending if it wasn't the avatar? </p><p>Plant bending though!? Really? Do you think waterbenders could do that by manipulating the water in the plant, kind of like bloodbending? </p>

<p>Umm... it's canon?
</p>

I'm new to this whole forum thing and all that. What is canon?

<p>Something that's established in the series itself. Plantbending, for instance, was displayed by Huu, the spiritual leader of the Foggy Swamp Tribe. Hence, it is canon. Something that is not canon would be something like earthbenders being able to bend someone's bones due to the high mineral content. While it is hotly debated here on the forums, it has never acutally been used in the series itself. </p>
