The awatara is a powerful being who has been
reincarnated over many lifetimes. It is the
Avatar's duty to master all four elements, and to
use that power to keep balance amongst the four
nations. The Avatars follow a cycle, so when an
awatara dies the spirit is reborn the susunod nation
in the cycle: It goes Water, Earth, Fire, and
Air. There can only be one awatara at a time. The
awatara also possesses the ability to meditate
into the Spirit World. They are also able to
contact the spirits of nakaraan Avatars through
meditation and gain wisdom from them. The awatara
can also enter what is called "the awatara State."
In the awatara State, the awatara is at their most
powerful, but also their most vulnerable. The
awatara State is signified sa pamamagitan ng a glowing of the
eyes (and in Aang's case, glowing palaso tattoos).
When in the awatara State, an Avatar's bending
strengh is heightened and he or she can perform
very powerful moves. But if an awatara is killed
while in the awatara State, the awatara cycle is
broken, and the awatara ceases to exist.
