    We also see the creation of vaccuum in the second episode when Aang takes his staff back from Sokka to show the kids that he can fly, and we see it in Appa's Lost Days when he eats the cabbages and tries to get the bail of hay.?? I found the first instance interesting because all Aang did was put his hand up, and the staff was sucked to him.?? Like using the Force.

    He also did it in "Warriros of Kyoshi" when he sucked up the metal fans right into his hands...

    Are you sure he created a vaccum and not just a draft in some of those instances?

    If he can suck and blow, he can make a vacuum.

    The only problem with complete invisibility is that you would not be able to see either. Think about it...if all the the light waves are being bent around you there is no light reaching your eyes, and thus all you can see is darkness. So although no one could see you, you could not see anyone in return.

    The only one who could possibly pull this off is the Avatar (as long as he can see like Toph can see) since he could firebend as well as see through earthbending. That or someone extremely good at hearing, which maybe Aang could use airbending or once again, earthbending to do since the idea of?? "sound-bending" has been thrown out there.

    One thing I've been thinking about though, since there's always been the idea of Airbenders messing with the weather (tornados), is what an Avatar can do with the weather. They could not only create tornados, but floods, hurricanes, or even change a local climate. We saw how he changed the landscape by making a zoo, well, add that in with super cooling or super heating (airbending/waterbending and airbending/firebending respectively), and that's some pretty powerful stuff. Now, only if the Avatar could do something about gas prices...perhaps pressurize earth into an endless supply of coal? Well, I guess not totally endless. There is only so much land.
    Man that is a great point.
