I have a question 🙋 "The only reason the all Avatars could bend all four elements is because they permanently fused with Raava" right? But korra was able to use airbending and waterbending after she split from Raava. She used airbending to get to the tree of time If she is no longer fused with Raava, she no longer has the Avatar. So basically she's just a regular waterbender, how could she bend more than 1 element despites being split from Raava?
