Moon rings



= Moon Rings =

The Moon Rings are mermaid tail-shaped rings with a blue moonstone embedded in the middle. It is a powerful object and can be used for perform powerful and complex magic, capable of amplify mermaid's powers hundreds of times.

Moon Rings amplifies mermaid's powers hundreds of times, they are dangerous and if a mermaid doesn't know what they're doing, or if a land person goes outside during a Full Moon, it can be harmful to themselves or others. To use a Moon Ring, a mermaid has to focus on their intent. A mermaid has to also focus her energy on the Moon Ring and meld their thoughts with it. She has to also be positive and unleash positive energy when using a Moon Ring, foccusing her mind on what they want the Moon Ring to do.

The Moon Rings store moonlight and only works in a place that can receive full moonlight, such Loralei used it to open the Trident Cave, but it did not work inside. When the mermaid graduates in the Mermaid School, she is given a Moon Ring and is initiated in their respective pod. If a mermaid loses her Moon Ring, it will be near impossible to receive a new one unless they can prove to their respective mermaid council their worth.

The mermaid trio's use of magic in close proximity to the ring caused its stone to glow and release a beam which stunned Rita. However, the properties of a moon stone can be altered, like the trident's which was altered to absorb a mermaid's energy rather than react to it.

It was Aquata's Moon Ring that allowed Harmony, Jewel, and Loralei to get legs. Rita later teaches the girls to use the Moon Ring's power when she agrees to help them.

It is implied that the Moon Rings need to be placed in shells to function. Improper use of powers or less powers than required is also implied to cause problems, as seen when Loralei and Jewel attempted to stop a rainstorm using the Moon Ring without Harmony, causing snowfall indoors. The rings' source of power is placed within the moonstones. Moon Rings also depletes over time, and to load them, they have to be exposed to the light of the Full Moon, or another object that stores full moonlight, such as the Trident.

Powers

 * Healing- The rings have the power to heal as shown when the girls (Jewel & Harmony) and Rita were able to heal Loralei when she was accidentally zapped by the Trident.


 * Chlorokinesis (Plant Manipulation)- It can also be used to grow/manipulate plants as Rita made the seaweed grow and this could be used to provide camouflage, and the same thing could also be used on a kelp forest as stated by Rita.


 * Force Field- It could be used to provide a magic shield/force field, like in "Decision Time", the girls used their Moon Rings at the same time to prevent Cam from being turned into a merman and taking over the Island.


 * Coma- They also seem to have the ability to put people into a type of coma as seen in "Moon Ring 2" when the girls were trying to get the moon ring from Anse, they accidentally used their powers on the moon ring and the blast hit Rita, knocking her unconscious.


 * Legs Spell- Mermaids can perform a spell to grow legs, but that spell is only possible on a Full Moon. As the Moon Rings store moonlight, it is possible to a mermaid to perform this spell without it. It's not known if this spell is reversible, but most likely is.


 * Enlargement Spell- Merpeople can perform a spell to enlarge an object like when Taki used the Moon Ring to make the crayfish bigger.


 * Shrinking- Merpeople can shrink objects. Taki shrunk the crayfish after making it too big and Mia accidentally shrunk herself when trying to remove the ring from her finger.


 * Duplication Spell- Merpeople can perform a spell to duplicate matter in number. Taki and Serenade performed the spell successfully.


 * Sleep Spell- Merpeople can perform a spell  to make someone fall asleep.Serenade performed the spell on David after he was enchanted by Jewel's song.


 * Containment Spell- Merpeople can perform a spell to contain things. Neri has a puzzle box in her apartment to contain dangerous spells. Taki used it on a puzzle box along with a shrinking and adapting spell.


 * Adapting Spell- Merpeople can perform a spell of adaptation. Taki performed the spell along with a shrinking spell on a Chinese puzzle box.


 * Incineration- Merpeople can perform a spell to incinerate objects. Taki and Serende performed the spell successfully to destroy a Chinese puzzle box enchanted with shrinking and adapting spells.


 * Object Manipulation- Merpeople can perform a spell to manipulate objects. Serenade performed this spell to demonstrate the moon ring's power to Mia, who then enchanted a mop to clean the floor. When the mop got stuck in the bucket, she boosted it with extra power, making it spin out of control.


 * Levitation- Merpeople can perform a spell to make objects float in midair. Serenade demonstrated it to Mia, who then did the same thing, but found herself unable to undo it.
