So bending is all about bending the elements.
Water bender bends water to his will.
Air bender bends air
Earth bender bends soil

Then why does fire bender not just bends fire but also produces fire.
A water bender cannot bend when there is no water around but the fire bender have this special power which allows them to not just bend fire but also create fire at their will. That just breaks the bending laws.

Is it an oversight by the original creators or deliberate so fire bender don’t have to carry fire torch with them wherever they go!
