Metamorphism

Weave the minerals like thread through fragile mountains.

Metamorphism, is the special specialized bending sub-skill passed down by the Hablur Clan and consists in using Earthbending to guide the formation of minerals and to alter them to create specific gemstones.

Overview
Unlike some specialized bending techniques Metamorphism can be learned by anyone and it is a natural application of Earthbending on a small microscopic scale. It uses chi and Earthbending to pressurize mineral deposits, heat them up and guide their growth, alignment and even chemical reactions that occur.

Metamorphism is performed by going through many forms and dances traditional to the Silat based Earthbending of the Hablur and they manipulate earth which is deposited in a basin full of water and with minerals dissolved in it to provide ample material and quick relief from heat.

This type of specialized bending requires many minutes to wield even the simplest of gemstones and most requires hours, days with the most prized and rare gemstones taking anything from weeks to an entire year.

Techniques
Combat techniques are not known to exist however the technique can be used to create jewelry such as Century Stones or weaponry such as Jauh Hablur's special Blade Gem sword and dagger.
