And therefore bending happens as a result of channeling chi through physical movement.....meaning that the channeling of chi(doing the physical motion) is what makes the bender tired, and the bending result itself does not fatigue a bender.

Then how physically fit a bender is = their bending capacity (endurance) and how powerful a bender they are

Yeah....i'm getting carried away with this, but ik there are cooldowns. I just had an idea about the mana a couple days ago. Dropped it now. But im intrested in how bending works and am asking the great meskenas for explanation :D

How come an earth bender cant split the whole earth then?

In the sense that doing a move requires physical energy, but the move does not use physical energy.

So bending is like the crate?

this is an interesting topic :D

Or....maybe bending takes away their physical energy, not from their chi energy. Sort of like how in eragon (the book) doing magic used physical energy.

I have an idea....a compromise. Maybe bending HUGE things is beyond their capacity/chi capability. But doing moves within their capacity does not drain "energy" since their chi does not get used up, only taken away or blocked.

Sorry if i sound attacking/rude.......i just want to know your perspective on how bending works. :p

And when Katara has to part the ocean when going across the serpent's pass, she get tired, so aang makes them go in a bubble instead (since its easier to maintain)?

Or how come they yell sometimes when they do a move......if it takes no effort?

So they never become tired from bending unless from the physical effort of doing the move? How come boomi gets tired when he lifts huge rocks then?

yeah, i wanted to say mana to explain to people what i meant by energy

Players must not have to pay for something to gain access to it. Players can only pay to gain access to a server (as a whole). Players must be able to at some point have all the same perks (meaning through soft currency/gameplay they can all attain the same things at some point). Hard currency...

yeah, now that i think about it, a mana system for bending would make it too complicated/slow and may not work well with bending. I think it would also be kinda useless, seeing how there is the cooldown.

okay.......can't delete thread, whatever ._. saw people getting into arguments about how bending uses up energy and how you get physically exhausted from bending.

....searched mana on forums....there were arguments....deleting...... (just saying, in my opinion, benders do use up energy like any other physical movement when they bend, they can't just do a huge move over and over again as if it is nothing)

oh.......why has it been denied though?

Sooooo, recently i had an idea that we could have an (optional) mana/energy system incorporated into the rpg plugin. It would work sort of as a tiredness level, where big moves use up more of your energy (all configurable). As you bend more and "level up" you gain more "energy...
