I haven't seen any suggestions for this yet which very much surprises me. The ability I am suggesting is the Lightning redirection from the original avatar series.
Above is an image of Zuko using this move in the scene where he faces his father during the eclipse.
-HOW IT WOULD WORK. I Suggest that it is an ability that is held by right click not held by shift. The move would be equipped as normal and then when it is to be used the bender would hold rightclick while facing their opponent (facing may or may not be possible.) then when struck with the lightning attack it would cause a link (like it currently does between creatures.) that would run from the lightning caster to the reflect caster and back at the lightning caster. I would propose that if the reflect caster is on the ground. (not jumping or using glide moves.) then damage is only done to the opponent. (the one doing the casting of lightning.) If he is not grounded it does normal damage to both.
WHY IS THIS USEFUL? I suggest that you make reflected lightning when grounded deal about 1.25 damage. Also this would be useful for a defense if you don't have time to charge your own attack.
IS THIS ACTUALLY POSSIBLE? I admit i don't know java or what the programmers can do, however i do use many plugins on my server and know this move is possible. In the config file you can edit attack power and defence. their are also moves that change power depending on circumstances. Another plugin (the magicspells plugin) has a reflect move that works against some spells. Finally is the fact that unlike normal minecraft lightning that doesn't have a warning the lightning bending attack has very obvious blue redstone particles, meaning it would be very possible to predict the attack and switch to the reflect move.
If you like this idea or have suggestions to improve it, feel free to comment and spread the word. More information on the move in the show can be seen at the following.
