I tried some firebending forms when I first arrived, and airbending came out — but I was really upset at the time. It's definitely got to do with my emotions, like if I'm in a heightened state of emotion, I can conjure magic more easily, but with less control... My first time making fire magic, it was because I was distraught, honestly. Sokka gets fire magic when he's mad, too. Same with my good friend Hikaru. But with practice, mindfulness is key, just like real bending.

[ "Real" bending, he says. He flicks a gentle gust of air Aang's way, blowing his pixie in the way by accident. He's still not great, but has control and focus he didn't have with these abilities before, at least. ]
