Nemopedalism Spell

The Nemopedalism Spell was a powerful enchantment that rendered a bewitched merperson completely unable to return to their human forms, even when dry.

History[]

In "Three Days Underwater", the Stone Circle utilized its magic on its own. It summoned a mystical tide in the form of a whirlpool. As Rikki swam above the circle, the whirlpool sucked her into its vortex. The water held a stream of green energy which wound around Rikki's tail and melted into it. This spell robbed Rikki of her ability to assume human form when dry. The spell could only be reversed on the full moon when the enchanted current returned. If she missed this current, Rikki would remain trapped in mermaid form forever.

Etymology[]

In Latin, "nemo" means "none", and ped means "foot".

Trivia[]

The Stone Circle could act as an opposite of the Moon of Fifty Years. However, unlike the latter, the Nemopedalism Spell actually prevented a bewitched, no matter if he/she was native from the sea or not, from returning to his/he human form indefinitely, if they were not able to reverse it in the right time, while the Moon of Fifty Years actually permanently reversed the effects of a human-turned's metamorphosis, and reverted a bewitched as a regular human being.
