I know it's years later, but ty! That's what I was talking about
WARNING: Contains some Avatar: legend of Aang spoilers
Ok, what I mean is when a power is used in an unexpected/unusual way. For example: that one old water bender in Legend of Aang developing blood bending. The water bender realizes that all life has water in some way, so she learns how to control sentient life. She then goes on to develop this talent, and even teaches it to Katara, proving that all water benders can do it. So the power of water is used in a way that most people wouldn't think of using their hypothetical water powers. I am not referring to the trope "Heart Is an Awesome Power," where a seemingly useless power can be quite powerful.
