Hydro-Thermokinesis is the power to raise and control the temperature of liquid water to varying degrees at will.

Description[]

Hydro-Thermokinesis is the ability to heat and boil the water. It's the most volatile and dangerous of all three original powers, as well as one of the most dangerous powers a merperson possess. When activated, this power will make the water to increase in temperature and boil, causing the water to evaporate quickly. In some cases, Rikki was able to increase temperature on some objects without the water, such as bubbles and door knob, implying that she can heat up the small water molecules around those dry objects.

Throughout the series, it was shown that this power could easily get out of control. A Full Moon could cause this power to spin out of control, causing everything a merperson touched to instantly dehydrate and ignite, demonstrating some aspect of Pyrokinesis.[1] A sick merperson could also develop this power while sick, causing them to sneeze streams of fire, but they were unable to control it, though, and the ability was presumably gone after they were cured.[2] In addition to it, it was possible that a merperson was only able to raise the temperature of liquid water, but they were not actually able to control, and reverse it.

It was also one of the three original regular powers granted by the Moon Pool at the heart of Mako Island.

Hydro-Thermokinesis is most useful when the merpeople need to dry off their tails faster, which triggers Limited Transformation back into human form in only a few minutes. This power also can be summoned by a mermaid with a Moon Ring.

Channeling[]

This power could be channeled through the use of one's hands. The hand gesture for this power was a closing/closed fist which might symbolize pressure, tension and the amount of heat needed to boil water. However, not all mermaids and mermen activated this power in this way, each of them possessed a unique way of activating it.

Developed Powers[]

Pyrokinesis and Electrokinesis[]

If a merperson with this power entered the waters of any active Moon Pool under the Elemental Moon, it was enhanced to Pyrokinesis, the power to start and put out fires, and Electrokinesis, the ability to control electricity and to summon a lightning from the sky from anywhere, and presumably a full-fledged Thermokinesis.

Trivia[]

  • Hydro-Thermokinesis is one of the three original powers, as well as the most volatile and dangerous of all three original powers. The best known mermaid who has this power is Rikki Chadwick.
  • It was unknown if a merperson with this power could amplify their hydro-thermokinetic power to a full-fledged Thermokinesis, just like a merperson's hydro-cryokinetic power to a full-fledged Cryokinesis, allowing hydro-thermokinetic merperson to be able to raise the temperature in the air around themselves without the presence of water or liquids in general.
