Why not share a story here, then.
I believe it is quite possible. I had a definitive "oh my god, this DOES work" moment when I found a book containing "low-level spells" around 8th grade (I must have been 14 around that time). Amongst those spells, there was one that used a 5*5 word arranged in a special way, I painted that on my own hand, and did the neccessary movements/words, and the spell would have resulted in a "Snowstorm" in my area soon. Now, this was in mid-europe, around september. No storms around that time, none at all. I did it, and in the next day, there really was a huge snowstorm, one quite unusual at that climate.
Of course none of my friends/relatives believed that "I caused it", but I remember being pretty sure about it. Not to mention that it hit back on me severly: I got sick a few days after, with a long 2-3 week recovery period, and it really was a painful influenza-like sickness, not the usual cold stuff. I learned the lesson though, never used concrete spells again ever since that, and that certainty of "I caused it" have pretty much diminished in the next years. I am sure that by now, it maybe was not even me. It might have been a perfect coincidence and a good opportunity for me to strengthen my beliefs in the supernatural in the right time. I can see that being arranged too.
Airbenders might not exist in this density, but monks are pretty amazing about everything they are doing in their training. They really extend the limit of what human bodies are capable of.
