sixelementmudraDOING SOME ULTRA-QUICK WRITEUPS so I remember what he has and doesn't have
BASICALLY the payoff for his memory convincing Calder to make fireworks. There's a fireworks show, it's pretty! Bayan makes his point, but Kiwani bulls in and messes it up -- she doesn't seem to like the hex yet, and especially Bayan. She refuses to help clean up, but one of the second-year students asks them to let her help so she can practice with her air Avatar, which shows up as a disc of wind and sweeps up all the shell casings for them.
Bayan's in a little stone house with a stove and nothing else. He's cold, hungry, thirsty, pretty clearly can't go anywhere and his magic is dampened, but he's thinking about things Treinhfir told him about unfocused magic. He figured out that the "focused" part is the elemental invocation/revocation that the duelists spent days and days practicing, so he starts experimenting.
Just dropping the invocation doesn't work, but dropping both the invocation and the elemental sacred gesture does; he creates a tiny whirlwind in his room. It's a lot weaker than his normal magic, but he's doing it where magic shouldn't work. He tries for a rainstorm but the spell he's using can be cast as air, water or shock and he almost electrocutes himself because he can't distinguish. With some focus, though, he gets it right and sends the spell out the window, and rejoices at the feeling of a tiny rainstorm on his face.
BASICALLY WATERBENDING. Anything Katara can do, Bayan can do, especially since water is one of his strong elements; he also doesn't need water to cast (it forms out of elemental energy he generates) and can freeze things. He also can't rip water out of things since elemental magic can't directly affect anything alive. Apparently, trapping things in ice or perforating them with icicles or drowning them doesn't count as an effect. I'LL ADD TO THIS LATER.
FLESHING THESE OUT LATER maybe.
