Was thinking how dumb the elemental kungfu thing in Avatar is, especially in fantasy world where other power sets exist. The only useful is actually earth bending while the rest is heavily situational.
For water benders, unless they can bloodbend, draw moisture from the air or straight up nailing themselves to a large body of water, a mage who knows water magic can do their shit.
Same goes with fire and wind magic.
