2. I was referring to the episode where a fire bender creates a big flame and makes it look like a dragon and controls it around Katara, I could not find a picture but the episode is called the deserter and it is when they are in the festival.
3. Fire was taken from the torches and fire places in a couple of episodes, one was when they go to the ancient ruins of the Sun Gods, another is when they meditate and would control the flames on the candles
4. You would be able to charge the ability and use it, but if there was already a source block of fire(like a torch or flame) you would not need to charge it, I just thought that that would be a cool acceptation to fire bending.
5. Yeah, it sort of is a rip off, but I still think it would be a cool ability. But I do think earthsmash was a good ability, earth benders are now more mobile with it, you can control it like an actual earth bender and carry stuff in it.
I do like jedcores fire breath, and this ability would not be like that ability.
