[There seems to be more types of magic out there than there are sub-schools of bending. Korra's so glad she doesn't have to deal with that stuff, it sounded way too complicated.]

All right. Just remember, you asked. [She's got this explanation thing down due to repeatedly hearing it since age four.] The Avatar is the spirit of the planet itself in human incarnation that keeps balance between the four nations of the world. Whenever the Avatar dies, that spirit is born in the next nation of the cycle of Earth, Fire, Air, and Water. Another duty for the Avatar aside from mastering all four elements is being the connection from our world to the Spirit World. Like an ambassador of sorts. So yeah, it’s kind of a lot for most people to take in all at once. [And of course stress comes with the roll.]

That’s exactly what bending’s like! Or at least for me. Most benders don’t really start bending their element until they start their teenage years. [No bragging in her tone or face, just more information about her world.] Usually they find a master to train under until they’re masters themselves.

What makes your magic different? [Because as far as Korra had seen it, magic was just that. Some kind of weird words and BAM, crazy stuff happens.]
