Nej, Amon är inte energi-böjande när han tar bort någons böjningsförmåga.
SPOILERS!
Amon, born Noatok was the son of the crime-boss Yakone, was a highly skilled Blood-bender and brother to the city councilman, Tarrlok. His ability to remove the ability of others to Bend, appeared to be related to his ability to blood-Bend.
Amon kunde så nära som vi kan se, störa chi-banorna, kanske genom att få personen att inte få tillgång till anslutningen till hjärnans böjningsregioner. Denna användning av böjning med nära kirurgisk skicklighet kunde inte ångras av Katara, som anses vara den mest kraftfulla läkare som är känd.
Korra, having lost her ability to Bend to Amon, was unable to access her known abilities of fire-bending, water-bending or earth-bending, but when she was able to, under extreme duress, air-bend, her ability to do so was unaffected by Amon's block. So whatever he is doing, it blocks the known memory of bending or the access to practiced bending in the brain. Her previously untapped airbending ability was unaffected.
Korra fick höra att hon inte skulle ha tillgång till hennes tidigare böjningsbefogenheter och att inget känt kunde göras för att reparera sina krafter.
In a moment of quiet desperation, she had a vision from Aang who suggested that at her lowest point she would be able to be open to the Avatar state and the ability to reach her previous incarnations. Aang shares the knowledge of energy bending and reaches past the block placed by Amon by activating her Avatar State. This restores her bending powers. This also gives her the ability to undo all the damage done to benders by Amon.
