Logia Awakenings: Avatars and Elemental Planes
​

I like to support my theories with concepts from common television tropes. The one I will focus on here is the concept of elemental dimensions.

Elemental Planes Trope
A setting that represents or is made of a concept/thing. It may be sentient, in which case it may also have an avatar running around. Often, they will be pocket or parallel dimensions separate from the physical world where mortals live, but they'll sometimes be discrete parts of the main setting. They are likely to come in sets, with multiple worlds for various elements or concepts. The four classical elements are the likeliest to get such planes. Some might follow one of the other elemental grouping themes like Fire, Water, Wind, Land, Sea, Sky, or Fire, Ice, Lightning, but this is by no means an exclusive rule. Just as common are planes that are linked to Bizarro Elements that have no distinct group theming at all.

In a previous theory, I have speculated that Devil fruit ability users exist in different dimensions and supported this with dialogue from Dr. Vegapunk. Paramecia users seem to exist in bizarre dimensions, Logia users seem to exist in elemental dimensions, and Zoan users seem to use natural adaptations.

To get to the point, I believe the Logia awakening involves very special qualities unique to it. This concerns a specific mechanism involving the Logia state which initially allows a user's body to become intangible. Additionally, when a fruit is awakened, and this is the important part, they become able to cause other things than their body to have the Logia state as well.

So, what should a Logia awakening do?

1. It should allow the Logia user to temporarily turn the surrounding environment into an elemental dimension.
2. It should allow the Logia user to temporarily turn themselves into an avatar of the elemental dimension.
3. It should allow the Logia user to shape the environment in a similar way to how Capone Bege controls his castle dimension in his body.
4. It should allow the Logia user to travel from place to place within the dimension in a similar way to how Pica travels through stone.
5. It may allow a Logia user to create living manifestations of the dimension known as elemental embodiments.

What is an elemental dimension?
- A setting that represents or is made of a concept/thing. It may be sentient, in which case it may also have an avatar running around. Often, they will be pocket or parallel dimensions separate from the physical world where mortals live, but they'll sometimes be discrete parts of the main setting.

Re: your requirements, does Punk Hazard count as 1? Kizaru's clones sound similar to 5, and Enel's giant form could represent 2.

Not sure about 3 and 4...the only things resembling 4 that I can recall are Akainu tunnelling through MF and Kizaru's Yata no Kagami.

For point 4:
Monet was moving through the snow the whole time. And in the anime it seemed like they had Kuzan moving through his ice aswell, when he fought Cracker. Just like the OP I think that the terrain changing effect will entail that ability.

I don't know about the respective dimensions, but other than that I wholeheartedly agree.
I made a thread about exactly that aswell.

I'd add that it seems like the avatar forms have to have an out of body energy source. For Amaru Enel seemingly was charged up by a lightning bolt from the sky, when GB was pulled out of his Tree form, his feet were merged with the ground and Caesar needed to absorb Shinokuni.

I also think that the embodiment ability that you are talking about - I called it element conjuration - will be their new main arsenal- animals, weapons, shields, walls etc.
And to add onto it: Those creations arw always accompanied by very specific gestures such as crossing arms and certain hand gestures.
Edit: And Kuzan for example also even has a special naming pattern for those moves "ice block:pheasant beak/partisan".
Ace had this aswell with "god fire:...".
