Some people have waaaay too much time on their hands.... not that I mind in this case
Just finished version 3.0 of my Avatar Sub-Element chart. It's come a long way since version 1.
How would a person actually find out they have the ability to bloodend and if it's possible to know without training to do it.
Of the four bending arts Waterbending is most versatile and adaptable. After all, it is the Element of Change.
Waterbending is also the only element where most people can learn ALL the subtypes. (Provided they spend the time to learn.)
So to answer your first question: Most waterbenders have the ability to bloodbend but also need three things:
A deep understanding of the body and its anatomy, which is usually gained after becoming an expect healer.
Immense bending strength. Bloodbending works by dominating the water and Chi in another person’s body. A bloodbender must be strong enough to overcome their victim's Chi.
The Full Moon. Most waterbenders do not have the strength to overcome another person's Chi, therefore they need the added strength coming from the full moon in order to bloodbend.
All in all, bloodbending is a master level ability which can only be learned by very strong or master waterbenders.
As to your second question: 'Can someone know bloodbend without training?"
Answer: No. Bloodbending requires too much skill to be done by accident. (Just like you can't accidently do Calculus.) It's a skill that has to be learned and developed.
Apologies for taking so long to reply.

Now we have one for each element.
This is the finalized version(s) of my bending chart. I overhauled the whole thing and updated some of the symbols. I’m pretty satisfied with it, though I may change the symbol for “Ice” in the future.
