Ability Changes: Characters with special powers who become mermaids can manifest the power of a Mermaid Princess, i.e. magical girl idol singer, unless they lose the pearl that comes with being a mermaid. Water demons can also sing to attack, but they have more freedom with other abilities, generally attack-related. Defense- and status effect-related abilities are usually the domain of winged beings, and they have to sing to use them. Panthalassa have a variety of powers. Humans have no powers but, in a few exceptional cases, can overcome spells with their own willpower. Ability Limitations: Medium-high. No planet-destroying (but causing natural disasters all over the planet is okay), but that's it for power levels, depending on the race you end up as. Form Restrictions: Human, mermaid (female only), water demon, Panthalassa, winged being, and guardian creature. One can come to the conclusion that there are more races than this, but these are all we see in the manga. All of the non-human races can transform into humans with slight changes to their physical appearance, water demons revert to the forms of sea creatures when their power has run out, and Mermaid Princesses (but probably not regular mermaids) can transform into amphibious magical idol singers who appear to be human versions of their mermaid forms. Social Restrictions: Mermaids are forbidden to reveal their identities to humans due to a (not formally tested but likely untrue) widely-held belief that to do so will kill them. Most every race keeps to itself. Generally, it's a good idea to pass as human, as most humans have no idea of what is going on. Human politics are just like those on most Earths; mermaids are, in theory, ruled by a goddess-queen who rarely appears and, in practice, ruled by seven princesses, one per ocean.
