Kahn began studying spiritbending under Guru Pathik. In this field, too, he displayed considerable talent, managing to make basic use of a few simple applications within just a few days.
For example-
Kahn sat cross-legged on a mountaintop, his eyes closed in meditation. Though his eyes were shut, he could see even more than before.
He saw Guru Pathik watching him from behind, the ants carrying food in a line across the grass, the temples glittering like gold beneath the sun, and East, South, West, and North weaving through the buildings.
All things possessed [spirit], and spiritbenders could turn the presence of these [spirits] into their eyes, using [spirits] to observe everything in the world, seek good fortune, and avoid danger.
Whatever Guru Pathik called this ability, Kahn preferred to call it Mind's Eye.
The range of Mind's Eye varied with the strength of the bender's own [spirit]. At present, Kahn could only observe the entire Eastern Air Temple complex, an area spanning a few mountaintops.
That already sounded impressive, but it was still far short of Guru Pathik's ability to see all things beneath heaven and know the affairs of the world without stepping outside.
There were quite a few other limitations as well.
Though all things possessed spirits, not everything made a good medium. If a medium's own spirit was too weak, the view would be unclear, while if its spirit was too strong, the spiritbender would be unable to intervene.
Of course, even with these limitations, it was still quite practical. At least Kahn would no longer have to use Spirit Projection to find people. That method was not only highly restrictive, but far too dangerous.
It was not only his physical body that was in danger. His exposed spirit could also encounter danger, as he might
