Question For an Admin

Okay, I know that this isn't really the place to do this, but right now apparently I haven't reached the post limit to send PM's which is how I would like to send this question to the Admin team.

My question is this, how feasible is it to create a new sub form of bending (lightning bending, metal bending, etc). My idea is to create a sub form of fire bending called heat bending.

The concept is fairly simple, heat bending is the ability to generate heat without creating fire. It is a much more serene and soft form of fire bending, though the motions of the form are very similar. It has practical purposes (heating food) as well as combat uses (heating a weapon to cause burns on contact).

Any comments are welcome, I'm not quite sure how many posts it takes in order to get PMing privileges. I didn't want to wait until then since this concept is a huge part of the character I am working on currently.

It takes five posts to be able to send a PM.

Now onto the question. Firebenders have the ability to control fire, which gives off huge amount of heat. So technically they can always bend heat, but we really don't count it as a sub element. In the show Zuko used his bending to keep his body warm while he was in the Water Tribe. What I am trying to say is that firebenders can already heat up food and weapons with their firebending, why would we have to add a sub element where they have more ways to produce heat?

As of now the only approved elements and sub-elements are on the Official Bending List. I do appreciate you trying to add to the list, but suggesting something firebending already has is sort of a step back.

Got it, I'll rework the character. Thanks so much.
