### **Silat Earthbending**

Silat Earthbending is a special type of earthbending technique that mimics real life silat movements, of all the various types. This indonesian take on earth bending focuses on the manipulation of pre-fabricated weaponry made out of minerals as opposed to flinging the rock in the vicinity. It is a more precise type of earthbending that takes advantage of a bender becoming familiar with their specific weapons in trade of the flexibility of normal earthbending.

Hablur Earthbending also finds distinction from regular earthbending for its great use of one classic earthbending technique, the rock pillar technique. A multi-purpose technique that can be used to create instant obstacles or cover against projectiles, pin an opponent against a surface, push an opponent away, or how it is more typical for Silat Earthbenders, propel its user in a direction at great speed in an instant.
