If a lavabender can heat up and cool down rock like a waterbender can with water and ice, then glassbending is definitely possible, it would be most similar to ice/waterbending with the crystalline structure.

Actually glass and crystals are fairly different in their structure. Quartz and glass may be identical chemically but crystalline quartz has a regular repeating pattern to its molecules, whereas the molecules in glass are more or less randomly arranged. I'm not really sure what the implications of that would be for bending, but perhaps for some reason bending crystalline substances is easier? Ice, metals, and most minerals found in rock are crystalline.

I vote that glass bending would not be flexible like metal bending, simply because glass has very poor ductility or malleability. Consider Consider that we don't see anyone flexing stone or ice. Ice bending can appear supple but that is more a matter of the ice growing in a particular direction. Similarly, we see people bending PIECES of stone in relation to each other and their bodies, but not "bending" the mineral. Consider the Dai Li's gauntlets.

Since lava bending is introduced, it should be not a problem (at least for the avatar or "halfbloods" like bolin). Furthermore, metal bending shouldn't be as ductile as shown in LOK because metal benders bend not the metals itself but the impurities in the metal. In glass however this would be not the case and a change in viscosity should work similar to Ice and water bending.

Lightning will always be my favorite

Damn, that´s actually the first time I saw that chart you used at the end. The sound bending sounds actually terrifying. Literally. Imagine you fight someone and then they suddenly shriek like a bat, shattering your eardrums.

lightning bending is goated

Love the Kyoshi novels sm ! Reading them a third time ! and wow what an effective way of glass-bending! Kyoshi was truly an awesome and Bi-Badass avatar 💚💚💚🪭🪭🪭🪭

I always thought that glass bending would be sand + lava because sand can turn into glass.

It's a cool introduction to the use of glass bending.

I’m kinda hoping we see more types of air bending. I saw on the chart at the end was sound bending with air, and if that’s real it could be brutal. Loud noises, shockwaves, high frequency attacks, echolocation, and incredible power if we ever see it.

What bumi do to katara and sokka back then was candy bending and its pretty similiar.

That's pretty awesome! It makes me wonder if water and/or air benders would be able to develop a freeze drying technique or a technique that allows for quick dehydration of foods to preserve them etc.

Can we all agree that we most definitely need a avatar kyoshi series????? Yes yes! They could run that show for a while too... since her life seems to have all kinds of wacky events and she lived for a long time! That would be awesome!!! ❤❤❤❤

Kyoshi really said :There is no god here, only me.

The hard point of beding Earth, is focus in microparticles of mineral on earth. Because they usually bending only dense forms of minerals and rocks. That is because not every Earth bender knows how to bending Metal and Sand. They are pretty hard tecniques thats demands a lot of train and concentration. But bend Metal and bend sand has similar concepts, the only difference between they, is that to bend Metal require more stregth than to bend Sand. (So i never understand why they never showed Toph, who has the Natural Ability to sense particules, bending Sand too). In case of Glass, i dont know if works with the same concept because Glass is just melted sand, so categorically anyone who knows to bend sand should know how to bend glass too. But i imagine that the Glass Bender require even more tecnique than the Sand Bender (Or Natural Talent, like Toph with Metal).

Hello. Glass bending will really be cool to see, somewhat like ice bending via it has to go from liquid form to glass when bending it, it will make them look like water benders just as I got confused when I saw lava bending and assumed the earth bending guy was a fire bender

honestly you wouldnt even think glass bending should be possible because of how far away it strays from 'earth' since its sand thats been superheated and hardened

When sand is baked, it becomes a composition that glass like a metal bender

😅 We've already seen earthbenders bend crystals. No matter what type of "glass" it was, it shouldn't be surprising.

Ooooo I just had a thought: what if fire benders could add or subtract heat from a person's body, either freezing or boiling them to death! I was thinking of a fire bending equivalent to water benders' blood bending or the air benders' suffocation technique. And ooo what if earth benders could bend bones!

Earth bending is bad ass. Remember we saw sand benders and glass is just melted sand. Any lava and sand bender will be a force to deal with

i cant wait till the next avater show comes out because its a earthdender and we will get to see them use all different ways to use it

Imagine the bongs you could make with glassbending

One bending type I want to see is boil bending, like earth benders can lava bend and water benders can already make things cold, what’s stopping a water bender from boiling their water?

Hear is what i have needed for the longest while, plasma bending, air compressed so intensely that it format the 5th state of matter, plasma

Glassbending sounds CRAZY

this feeling when subbending have an subbending

Magma bending, Sandbending , metal , glass and crystal the earth bending sub elements are awesome

I also often think of one variety of air bending that I have never seen anyone mention before. Basically, skilled airbender could create pressure on someone so hard that their eyes and head and lungs pop out and its an instant KO. I think usage of airbending for pressure could be instant KO and the deadliest bending you cannot survive.

Cant wait for crystal bending
