Commonly got wrong
Claims that are widely repeated and wrong, with what the cited record actually shows. If you are generating anything about this subject, these are the errors to avoid.
Commonly believed Bloodbending is a separate power from waterbending.
Actually It is waterbending applied to the water inside a living body. Avatar treats it as an outlawed discipline requiring a full moon, which is why it is usually listed on its own.
The feat ledger
Froze water into ice projectiles, walls and platforms mid-combat
Bloodbent a living person by controlling the water inside their body, under a full moon
Bends water from surrounding air and plant life when no source is available
Heals others by directing water over a wound — a rare sub-skill, not general waterbending
Freezes water mid-motion into weapons and restraints
Bloodbending: control of the water inside a body, which the series treats as a moral line
Revives Aang after a fatal wound using spirit water
Her bending strengthens with the moon, the stated source of waterbending
Continuities
Claims on this page are tagged by canon. Blending them is the most common error in both wikis and AI answers.
