Spells and potions are used by merpeople to do things their natural powers don't allow them to do. Potions need the specific set of ingredients.
Northern Spells and Potions[]
Arctic Marshmallow[]
A Northern recipe with few ingredients required, but a very complicated and delicate technique of cooking. Add foul-smelling oysters and Arctic sea lavender into a bowl, then cool the water to the exact temperature of the Beaufort Sea in late December, which will cause the flavors to transfer. The process has to be gradual and cannot be rushed, otherwise the flowers will freeze and the shells will break creating a foul-smelling goo. Once the sand in a small hourglass runs out, immediately add a dash of dried plankton of Baltic Sea to stop the transference. When done, Arctic Marshmallow is pink. The flavor of Arctic Marshmallow is described to be tart, yet sweet.
Fifty Moons Potion[]
This potion magnifies the effect of the Full Moon to fifty. The potion is required to be used on a merperson in the Moon Pool during a regular Full Moon. The merperson which the potion is used on supposedly loses their powers forever. This potion is green in appearance. This spell possibly stimulates the effect of the special planetary alignment, that only occurs naturally every fifty years and removes one's powers forever. In "The Seventh Cycle", Mimmi and Ondina attempt to use this potion on Zac to remove his powers, but it was interrupted by Evie, who arrived to rescue, also resulted in Evie getting a tail and powers. The potion makes a second appearance in "Reversal of Fortune" when Mimmi and Ondina attempt to use it again to help Evie get her tail back after she loses it to the Water Dragon but the potion fails once again.

Eastern Spells[]
Knowledge Transference Spell[]

Golden Palm[]
An Eastern spell used to neutralize other spells. When casting this spell, the Eastern mermaid's palm will glow golden on the other merperson's chest. Weilan used this spell on Ondina to help her get her legs back after she and Mimmi attempted to use the Fifty Moons Potion again to help Evie get her tail back after she loses it to the Water Dragon but the potion fails once again.[1]
Turn the Tide[]
An Eastern spell used to turn magic back on itself. It is a form of Eastern mermaid self-defense. It is a very difficult spell to learn and Eastern mermaids are taught this spell when they are hatchlings. No Southern mermaid has mastered the spell, but a couple of them have tried. Zac Blakely, a Northern merman, mastered this spell.[2]
Unidentified spells[]
Water Dragon Spell[]
An Eastern spell that can turn a merperson or human into the Water Dragon that's sole purpose is to destroy mermaids. The only way to break the spell is by using the Jiao Long Bracelet. In "The Legend of Jiao Long", Weilan revealed that another pod cast this spell on the land boy to punish the Chinese Mermaid and her pod. In "Homecoming", Nerissa revealed that Aurora used this same spell on her to destroy the Eastern pod.
Wish Granting Potion[]
A recipe that gives merpeople the ability to grant wishes. After the ingredients are mixed with three powers, the solution needs to be smeared on a merperson's face who is in a mer-form. Then a wish can be made by others: either out loud, or only thinking of it (it may take a while for the wish to work).
