Its Contagious
I don't think he actually took away the guys bending.
When aang took away the fire lords bending, he touched him in two different places, while amon only touched one spot. : o
its been 70 years and the generation has gotten stronger. In that world it seems that metal bending is a norm
But still, I don't think that it could evolve like that. It's Energybending.
I feel like he's actually just blocking chakra.
Amon touches the yin tang point aka the Ajna chakra:
Yintang Acupuncture Point
Location: Midway between the medial ends of the eyebrows Actions& Effects: •Calms the spirit - insomnia, anxiety, stress.
•Frontal headache.
•Sinus issues - congestion, sinusitis.
When Uncle is teaching Zuko about lightning, he talks about bending needing a certain amount of inner calm. So, if you were to close that chakra and lock all the anxiety inside someone, making them incapable of being calm, that would effectively take someone’s bending away.
Quite clever actually, since the more terrified they are/become the more permanent this block will be. And Amon is sure laying it on thick.
hmm well the show JUST started and its safe to be skeptical about it. For now, we can just call his bluff or just believed that "the gods gave him the gift" or whatever he claimed.
