- "You've got to keep an open mind, Katara. There's water in places you never think about."
- ― Hama (Avatar: the Last Airbender)
The ability to manipulate every property and state of water. Variation of Matter State Manipulation. Combination of Steam Manipulation, Ice Manipulation and Water Manipulation and advanced version of the latter. Opposite to Eternal Flame Manipulation.
Also Called[]
- Absolute Water Manipulation
- H2O Manipulation
Capabilities[]
The user can manipulate water in every form possible, the basic three being liquid, solid and gas, as well as transform it from one phase to another. More powerful users can convert water into the fourth phase, plasma.
The user can also manipulate every property of water, such as viscosity and density of water, changing liquid into thick and adhesive or thin as oil, or condensing vapor particles and liquids enough to be tangible to the point where they are solid and hardened.
Because blood cells are 55% blood plasma which in turn is up to 95% water, advanced users can control blood via its water content. This allows them to control the target, and even freeze or dehydrate their blood. This would take precision as blood plasma contains other components.
Similar to its counterpart, Fire Manipulation, water molecules are a medium for heat exchange in both its high heat capacity and coolant capabilities, thus allowing the user to manipulate external thermal energy and therefore the surrounding area's temperature.
