It's not very practical, it only works for me. I don't think I could do it for someone else. I suppose it's a bit of a clever way to solve the problem, but only because it worked. You should see the things my sister Tris can do! Or Briar, or Daja. Tris is a weather mage, Briar is a plant mage, and Daja is a smithing mage. Tris can summon lightning bolts and holds tidal power in her hair, Briar can talk to plants and make them grow, and Daja created living metal. Though I suppose that last one was an accident.
Okay, I'm definitely obligated to say the living metal is the coolest one.
[ For obvious reasons. The rest of it all sounds different but similar to bending, or at least not out of the realm of stories. Also, Sandry going on about her siblings is cute, not that Toph's gonna say that. It's a nice change from her earlier sadness over her fake memories. ]
But usually the really impressive bending is the subtle stuff, so I'm guessing it's the same way for magic.
[ Sandry completely expects this. For obvious reasons. Daja's living metal is cool. The things she can do with it are even cooler. ]
Yes, it's like that, but also not? Daja made a prosthetic leg for someone with her living metal. I think that's not very subtle, though it had lots of details.

[ Toph is nonplussed and completely amazed. She's not at all reluctant to call out cool things when she runs across them. ]
And you were trying to tell me thread magic isn't that cool? That's totally nuts, Sandry.

[ Sandry is clearly very proud of her siblings. ]
