== Abilities and Weaknesses ==
Sand mastery allows for the manipulation of '''ribbons''' of sand. The number of ribbons someone can control indicates their level of power. Young or weak sand masters may only have strength for a single ribbon, while the most powerful sand masters can utilize over two dozen.{{book ref|ws|1|review=yes}} When using multiple ribbons, a sand master's consciousness will expand to allow better control over them.{{book ref|ws3|4}} The power of a ribbon can increase the more sand is put into it, and a ribbon's precision and speed can be increased with training and practice.{{book ref|ws3|6}}{{book ref|ws|1|review=yes}} The tip of a ribbon contains the concentration of its energy. Attacking a ribbon from the side will make it collapse. Having two ribbons collide directly will make both ribbons collapse.{{book ref|
There are many uses of sand mastery. Sand masters often use whirlwinds of sand to lift themselves and fly, which typically requires at least three ribbons.{{book ref|ws|1|review=yes}}{{book ref|ws|5|review=yes}} Sand can be used to make platforms to walk on and can be used to temporally construct things like staffs or poles.{{book ref|ws|9|review=yes}} Their powers can also be used in battle. Sand can be used to hurl powerful ribbons or sheets of sand at their enemies or to hurl heavy objects.{{book ref|ws|8|review=yes}} The ribbons of sand can be powerful enough to go through a human skull{{book ref|ws|2|review=yes}} or the shell of a Karak.{{book ref|ws|9|review=yes}} Some powerful sand masters can unleash a massive wave of sand across an entire battlefield and can have the precision of only harming those the sand master wants to harm. The sand can also be used as a shield, creating a bubble around the sand master.{{book ref|ws|2|review=yes}}
=== Overmastery ===
Overmastery occurs when a sand master overexerts themselves and uses too much of their water supply, resulting in dehydration. When overmastering, a sand master's mouth will go dry and their eyes will burn.{{book ref|ws|1|review=yes}} After overmastering, a sand master's powers will temporarily disappear, which can last as long as a week.{{book ref|ws|6|review=yes}} During this time, when they attempt to sand master, the sand will immediately turn black.{{book ref|ws|4|review=yes}} Once they recover, a sand master's power will increase, similar to how exercising muscles until they are sore will make a person stronger.{{book ref|ws3|4}}{{book ref|
