Plantbending
Plantbending is a subelement for waterbenders that allows them to use their waterbending moves with plants as a source block as well as liquid water. These new sources include cacti, flowers, tall grass, leaves, and others. There is a passive effect that lets them not take fall damage while landing on leaves, but it appears to apply somewhat inconsistently.
Plantbenders solve many problems that waterbending suffers from while deprived of bodies of water, as they can use the life around them instead to fuel their waterbending. They do not gain the extra damage of icebenders, however.
For balance purposes, plantbenders are also able to Heal.
Abilities
VineManipulation
The only Plant-specific move, this move has two functions:
a) Whip, the user holds crouch to select a plant source and releases crouch to fire it wherever they are pointing. This does high damage to the target and has a very long range.
b) Armour, the user holds crouch to select a plant source and clicks to equip green leather armour.
