Every form of fanmade bending sounds closer.
Several of these we haver never seen used or mentioned.
Are some of these from the books? Cause things like plasma or shaman if I recall correctly aren't a thing?

Unsure where plasma came from.

"Shaman", I believe is in reference to Korra; when she was beaten at sea and rescued by the fire benders. The old lady did some kind of fire bending healing, similar to water healing.

Tbf lightning is just plasma. Electric charge builds, ionizes the air.

Yes, you are right. Plasma bending was in some other Avatar novels(Not Sure).
