    Technically, ice is water. Water benders can??(In theory, only one person has been seen doing this.)??control plants by using the water inside them, which is a better example.

    However, if Air and Earth have secondary abilities, they have not been revealed. I'm sure there are opinions, but I don't have any.

    This isn't a full answer to your question, I just wanted to say this:
    Bending ice isn't a secondary power. Ice is water. So is steam.
    The nations aren't divided into solid benders, vapor benders and liquid benders: They bend earth, which happens to be solid, air, which happens to be a mixture of gases, and water - which unlike the previous two substances, changes it's state within the range of temperature normaly encountered in the natural world.
    Wow that was an awkward sentence, but I hope I get my point across.
    ****
    Some people have bought the 'cinemanga' of Avatar and report that it lists several special powers of bender - methinks Earthbenders can 'magnetise' themselves somehow and climb shear cliffs, and water benders can bend the water inside a person's blood veins and control their movements.

    Do any of you know, if the Avatar can marry or fall in love or any of that kind?

    I need it for a rp.

    Well, we all know that Aang has a big crush on Katara, and there is no one, as of yet, who has told him that the Avatar cannot be romantically involved, so I'd say yes.

    yeh i get that but that still doesnt prove right for the fire nation. zuko's sister can make fire and lightning...what is up with the lightning?? i know its a starter for fire but it is also considered a secendary power of bending.. because the fire tribe can make and muniplate fire (sorry bad speller) but with lightning they only can make it but they are only a source of exiting.. they cannot control it or muniplate it.

    Do you know if the library in the next episode is the same Zhao went to? I mean, Zhao's was on the Earth Kingdom, underground (next episode's seems likely to be underground if it's on the desert) and seemed to have tons of information about all four nations.

    It may very well be, but as of now we do not know.

    Since pooldudeCCLVI asked us to use the forum search tool before posting, I've gone from finding too few hits (like zero hits or unintended hits) to getting so many irrelevant hits (yah, like I'm gonna read a stranger's blog entry that's more than a year old) the search is nearly useless, unless I had the time to plow through thousands of hits, which I don't (usually..). And, by adding terms to the search, I only seem to get more hits. Is it possible to refine the search? If so, how do I refine the search?

    Good point, but you never know...

    If I remember, Koh the Face Stealer took a past Avatar's face because the man came to avenge a loved one who lost her face. I'd just assume that it was his lover...

    So I'd guess that there is nothing stopping the Avatar from pursuing romantic involvement, but there could be...?? (for example, his duties to bring peace to the world could put a damper on any relationship plans).

    Koh didn't steal the face of the Avatar, just his lover...umm...just making that clear.

    I think so too. I mean it would be hard for someone to try to slay Koh for stealing a loved one's face without having any expression on his face.

    Does anyone know how to put a picture in the little siggy thing? I've tried HTML linking, but that's not working for me. I know this is a bit off topic from the whole Koh thing, but I couldn't think of another board to post it in. Besides, it is a question, right? And it is Avatar related, because the picture I want to put on my siggy is about Avatar, so there!

    And now, I await an answer from the ever-so kind person who is willing to share their knowledge with me.
