Theoretically very enlightened individuals (say, on the level of Guru Pathik, who was never a bender) who are capable of sensing the energy flows of the universe, can manipulate or strengthen those flows as they pertain to the Veil. It's of the same class of ability as Spiritbending, which doesn't technically need an elemental bending component, but it does make it a heck of a lot easier if they do have it (since bending involves them already manipulating their personal energies to affect the world around them). Energybending could be considered the ultimate level of that ability, but since it requires a user to force their will and energy against another's (as it's directly affecting another sapient being's internal energies, as opposed to that of the environment), only the Avatar (and Lion Turtles) have the strength of will to pull it off successfully without doing permanent unintentional harm. --- Philip
