It’s very minimal. So I have been thinking about some things for a while now, and I was wondering how come temperature control doesn't give the user the ability to evaporate water (I could have sworn it said they were able to boil water, but idrr), hence being able to control clouds and condense water? I was also thinking, if a waterbender is in a battle with a firebender, e.p. the firebender evaporates the water, can the waterbender control the movement of evaporated water without knowing cloudbending? and the reason I’m asking is because I believe that it’s pretty crucial (It’s happened to me in rping before).

Now, this also brings me to the water shield; I was roleplaying with hydro the other day, and I made my character lift a wall of water (not as a shield, but for the for an attack). Hydro, being the rper that he is, pointed out that my character shouldn't be able to do that because she doesn’t have water shield which just involves lifting a body of water...and I find that contradicting, because waterbending just involves lifting bodies of water? I understand firebenders have fire shields also, but it’s not as crucial compared to a waterbender because firebenders initially have the ability to block fire.

Basically, I’m asking if you can give waterbenders the ability to evaporate water as well as freeze them (and maybe control it). If not, can you add it to a basic power as a replacement of the water shield? I feel like the water shield move should be something very simplistic because it just involves lifting a body of water (depending on the scale, some can be very little or very large; but then again I feel like ice dome serves a good purpose for something big). What are you thoughts? If you don’t totally agree, I was wondering if I could make this as a blog post to see if I could receive some other opinions?
