Metalbending
Skill Name: Metalbending
Parent Skill: Earthbending
Description: Metalbending is the ability to manipulate rocks and other trace sediments within an impure metal. This allows users to reshape and move metals while in close proximity of them. This form of bending was thought to be discovered by the legendary Toph Befong, but never formally taught to other benders. While word of metal bending being possible has been spread throughout the Earth Kingdom, very few earthbenders can actually practice the technique without a master to guide them. A select few individuals however seem to be catching on to the technique quite quickly, meaning the world could potentially see master metalbenders in the future. In order for one to metalbend, they must be physically touching or within close distance of the metal object being manipulated.
Skill Ranks:
- Rank 1 (Beginner). A beginner Metalbender can only manipulate small objects composed of metal, or mend small holes in metal structures.
- Rank 2 (Adept). An adept Metalbender has either been formally trained or practiced for a decent amount of time. At this level they can use metalbending to break through metal bars or doors, and even coat their appendages with metal.
- Rank 3 (Expert). An Expert Metalbender has either been practicing for multiple years, or born with a true knack for the art. They can use metalbending to take down solid metal walls, create crude metal suits of armor, and even form primitive metal weaponry.
- Rank 4 (Master). A master Metalbender has yet to be seen in the world, and cold only be achieved through an impressive understanding of the art. A master Metalbender could move tear down small buildings or large vehicles made from metal with their bare hands. Some of the more refined masters could even use their bending to create elegant modern weaponry and armor.
- Rank 5 (Grand Master). A Grand Master Metalbender is thought to just be something of legends, and not actually achievable. Grand Master metalbenders are capable of moving and launching metal without physical contact or close proximity. With use of their bare hands, they could potentially tear apart entire warships.
Weak to: Fire and Lightning
