## ***Abilities and Equipment***

### **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 earth 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.

As a master of Silat Earthbending and a sword user Jauh is capable of utilizing Silat Earthbending in a particular way by co-opting a sword swing movement into translating into a earthbending movement simultaneously. In this manner Jauh is able to synergize his earthbending with his sword play enabling him to threaten someone simultaneously at close and longer ranges.

### **Dual Wielding**

Jauh is not only a master earthbender from his days practicing it to create and shape jewelry but is also an accomplished swordsman who prefers to dual wield shortswords.

### **Metamorphism**

A specialized earthbending technique where one channels their chi into a collection of earth, rock and minerals in a pool of water with dissolved minerals to create any gem type known and unknown to man. This bending skill is exclusive to the Hablur Clan and is their greatest source of income.

Jauh is capable of using Metamorphism to create Century Stones and also his very own unique gem recipe to make **Gem Blades**. This type of crystal is a gem that is incredibly sharp like obsidian but also highly resistant to impacts, making it usable for the creation of bladed weapons. Though he does not sell this specific type of gem he does arm his guards with weapons fashioned from them, marking them as working or having worked specifically for him and his clan.
