Re: Avatar: The Legend of Korra
I agree that he can't possibly be energybending, that's why I called it faux-energybending. But I figure if Energybending can take people's bending away, it can probably give it back too. Good call on the Chakra of Illusion bit though, though. I never made the connection.
I don't think Amon is energybending. I think he is Chakra blocking. The 6th Chakra is in the forehead and it is the Chakra of illusion. I think he is blocking that chakra and embedding the illusion they can no longer bend. Same way that Azula inadvertently blocked Aang's Avatar state when she zapped his 7th Chakra. Amon only places his thumb on his forhead; Aang was forehead and chest. Removing it is probably easier than Energybending.
