Why do you need to study turbines? We’re not studying airplanes? Shouldn’t it be like thermodynamics or even just physics?

Doctorate material on sub-elements:

• Metallurgy and crystallography (metalbending).

• Volcanism (lavabending).

• Circulatory systems (bloodbending).

• Electrostatics and plasma physics (lightingbending).

• Quantum mechanics (spirtbending and astral projection).

As a mechanical engineer, I am the Avatar.

They are in the wrong order 😔

And if you flipped the top image you could have them in order + a fifth book for an extra joke layer

I wonder if there is a show where they explore the impact of the bending or just magic in general. Basically Dr.stone but with bending/magic. I love seeing this stuff being used with scientific intent. The nation is basically steam punky.

Where's Metal Working 101 and Basics of Electrophysics?

Poseurs

I've read 3/4 of those, heat and mass transfer was evil.

Sokka being done dirty 😆 where that Dynamics textbook at

That reading list might just make the series unwatchable.

Magic/superpowers and thermodynamics usually don't mix.
