Sandbending
Skill Name: Sandbending
Parent Skill: Earthbending
Description: Sandbending is an offshoot of Earthbending practiced by inhabitants of deserts and Earthbending masters seeking to expand their knowledge. To the average earthbender, the movements associated with Sandbending look far more comparable to waterbending. Sand itself has a different feeling to most earth, a fuzzy softness, rather than a rigid stone. This can make the technique difficult to learn for those with a natural Earthbending affinity.
Skill Ranks:
- Rank 1 (Beginner). A beginner Sandbender can only use their abilities to manipulate small masses of sand, and sling it with only a small amount of force.
- Rank 2 (Adept). An adept Sandbender has either been formally trained or practiced for a decent amount of time. At this level they can use sandbending to raise small waves of sand, and launch sandy projectiles capable of incapacitating grown adults.
- Rank 3 (Expert). An Expert Sandbender has either been desert bandit for quite some time, or practiced for multiple years. They can use sandbending to glide across the dunes like a surfboard, produce large walls of sand, or even launch multiple globs of sand towards a foe.
- Rank 4 (Master). A master Sandbender has been taught by multiple masters or trained in solitude for a vast number of years. A master sandbender can create their own sand by breaking objects down with earthending first, and create far larger waves of sand which could consume entire buildings.
- Rank 5 (Grand Master). A Grand Master Snadbender is only talked about in legends, as there are not enough practitioners at even the master level. Grand Master sandbenders are rumored to turn entire stone buildings into mounds of sand for their techniques. Some are even capable of flooding entire villages with sand!
