#sub elements

This is my most current elemental chart for Avatar the last Airbender.  It’s gone through many different versions but I’m really happy with how this one turned out.  

I’ve included my old versions for reference.  

Central area:  The four classic with Energy bending in the center.  

Inner Circle:  Basic sub-skills most benders can use.  

Outer Circle:  Advanced sub-skills that are difficult to learn.  

Outer Edge:  True power of the Element.  Only achieved when you master the spiritual side of that Element.  

AIR

AGILITY:  Heightened sensitivity, speed, and reaction.  

LEVITATION:  Able to float in the air.  

VORTEX:  Able to send air compression blasts at your opponent, similar to a vortex cannon.
