![]() ![]() Switching between elements proves to take too much time in the heat of battle and doesn't offer the power necessary to face Vaatu head-on. As such, Wan can only use one element until Raava passes through him, swapping one element out for another. To combat this obstacle in an attempt to defeat Vaatu - the spirit of darkness and chaos - during the Harmonic Convergence, Raava holds onto the excess elements, while Wan trains to master them one at a time. In the Legend of Korra episode "Beginnings, Part 2" a lion turtle explains that the human body is incapable of holding two or more elements at the same time.

Rather, hard work and practice is the only way to obtain a sub-bending ability. The power and talent in the element that's passed on varies, and it's not guaranteed that one powerful bender will give birth to another. That being said, sub-bending abilities are not passed on genetically since they are determined by an individual's own skill and talent. Additionally, while Kya and Tenzin inherited an element from each of their parents, Bumi did not and was a non-bender for most of his life until the Harmonic Convergence. While it's unknown if their parents were benders, they each carried recessive genes from the Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom respectively. In the case of Mako and Bolin, who had parents from two different nations, Mako inherited firebending from their mother while Bolin inherited earthbending from their father. When two benders of different elements have children, those kids can inherit either element or none at all. ![]()
