Air Aura

[TheSkyKing]

Before i get started, I wanna give credit to Skitzcrafter. I used the Air Aura move he created and thought that I should expand upon it.

Move: Air Aura
Element: Air
Description:
Air Aura is a move in which the Air bender manipulates the air pressure around them or a target. If used on themself, the air bender would decrease the air pressure around them for a short amount of time causing them to have an increase in movement speed and knock back(even from a simple punch).
If used on a target, the air bender would increase the Air pressure around the target causing slight damage and a temporary nausea affect along with a temporary slowness affect or stoping movement completely for a breif amount of time.

The more passive side of air aura could be activated tapping sneak while the active(damaging) side of the move could be actived by aiming at the target and left clicking. The move would have a cooldown of 45 seconds

So far, most of things listed here are already a part of the move created by Skitzcrafter. In addition to what ive already said, there should be a charge for the move. The bender could hold sneak for a short amount of time and when it is fully charged, the bender would have the same speed boost from a normal air aura but they would get the potion affect strength for increased physical damage. Along with that, they would also get an added jump boost.
When used on a target, instead of a particle affect coming out of the users hand, air particles would descend upon the target showing more a crushing motion. The target would have increased cooldown time along with increased charge time of their bending moves up until 15 seconds after they were hit with move.

Isn't the offensive aspect of this move more like a nerfed version of Suffocate?

Not really. The offensive version of air aura would cause instant and one time damage unlike suffocate which has constant damage. It also would cause an affect to placed upon the target while suffocate does not. Lastly, the bender can freely move around while using air aura on a target(as long as they are in range) unlike suffocate which restricts movement greatly

That's a really cool suggestion you got there

Airbenders already have a passive speed and jumping boost, how much more boosted would this make them? Don't airbenders reduce the air resistance around them for less physical restriction?

I do kind of like the sound of the ability though. I'm not quite sure about some of these features but I feel it could work in some way. I like the idea of airbenders using their airbending to increase the impact of physical strikes. It's a resourceful method.

I agree with Kwesi.

Air benders use the air around them to propel themselves foward or up. The reduced weight would make the air propel them even faster. I thought maybe air would go from speed II and jump III to speed III and jump IV.
Im glad someone else agrees with the increased physical. It makes sense that air bender should be able to bend the air around their arms and to increase the impact force and speed of their punches and kicks. I know that most air benders arent nearly that offensive in the show but after seeing Zaheer and the new air nation basically becoming the policemen of the world, its only natural that new forms of fighting using airbending will arise.

Yes, I agree with new ways to apply airbending in an offensive fashion, and this way does seem perfectly feasible. However, I do feel that boost is slightly overpowered given what they already have, but it might balance out in the end.
