==== Overburn ====
If overmastery is kept up for too long, an "accomplished sand master under extreme duress can push themselves far beyond overmastery into what the Diem calls overburning. This comes when the sand master feeds the sand the last drops of water from their body and then gives up their lifeforce to the sand in exchange for one final explosive command." {{book ref|ws|18}}
