Description: Sandbending right now really isn't much.with sandspout. Even WITH sandspout, it still requires sand, and a majority of the land is made up of grass. So what I'm suggesting is a way for sandbenders to create a small patch of sand from dirt/grass. First, the earthbender would right click to select the center of the area for where they would want to create the patch of sand. Then they would sneak at that patch, and eventually, the grass would turn to sand. The process of the grass turning to sand would be exactly like that of how heatcontrol works with lava now. The patch of sand, fully filled, would look like this.
Sandbenders have been shown to also turn sand into a harder substance by condensing it. Sandbenders, as a result, with EarthShift, would be able to turn a larger patch of sand into sandstone (representing condensed sand). The process would be exactly like how you turn grass blocks/dirt into sand, but would be faster, and the patch of sandstone, fully filled, would look like this.
Furthermore, this process could be reversed by left clicking and hold sneak. The only difference would be that the sandstone patch would not shrink when converting back to sand.
Canon:
And yes- this makes sense. This suggestion was denied before because it was claimed that it didn’t make sense to turn grass into another substance (This doesn’t make sense, because it has happened in the show; look at the paragraph provided of it being canon). However, you’re not turn the grass into sand; you’re turning the dirt underneath the grass into sand. The grass can be assumed to be torn to shreds as you’re rapidly churning the dirt to turn it into sand.
Also this already happens in the plugin with Earth’s fall damage reduction passive, where they turn the grass into sand to help soften the fall. There are absolutely no grounds for this being illogical when it was shown to be possible in the show AND when Earthbenders already do it in the game.
