Lightning redirection is a specialized technique within firebending that allows a firebender to absorb lightning into their body as energy, then release it in a more desirable direction. The technique was developed by Iroh after he studied master waterbenders, who redirect an opponent's energy rather than oppose it head-on. Lightning redirection works equally well for natural and generated lightning, as well as electricity conducted through metal.
