Substanciakinesis was the water-related power to turn and solidify liquid water into a substance similar to crystal or glass.

Description[]

Substanciakinesis was the ability to solidify water into a substance similar to glass or crystal, rendering it nearly indestructible, unlike ice that would eventually melt away or break. The only known user of this power was Isabella Hartley, who received this power from the Sea Caves of Ireland.

With this power, merpeople can create a hardened surface atop water that is strong enough to support their body weight. In "Jungle Hunt", while visiting Mako Island with an unsuspecting Will Benjamin, Bella had to cross a stream of water without getting wet. She used Substanciakinesis to create moderately-sized platforms that she stepped on to help her cross. She lost her balance halfway through and fell into the water, at which point, the platforms dissipated.

In "Crime & Punishment", Cleo and Bella forged the perfect birthday present for Rikki, using water from the Moon Pool and Cleo's Hydrokinesis to form the water into the shape of a mermaid. Bella then used her Gelidkinesis to jellify the water, before repeating her hand gesture to harden the jelly. The newly crafted mermaid fell into the water. When Sophie Benjamin found the mermaid figurine, she remarked that it felt similar to some kind of glass, but also had the texture of crystal.

It was also shown that if Bella wants, the water will return to its normal state after a few seconds, but if she will not, the water will forever be rigid.

Channeling[]

This power could be channeled via a specific hand gesture. However, not all mermaids and mermen activated this power in this way, each of them possessed a unique way of activating it.
