Even More Moon Magic!

Everyone knows what the moon does. It makes the mermaids crazy or tries to warn them about a comet trying to destroy the earth. It might even try to bring a half merman a trident. All in all, the full moon is very powerful. Still, there are some full moons that are even more powerful than the (not so ordinary) full moons. First, there is a solar eclipse. As seen from the Earth, a solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and the Moon fully or partially blocks the Sun. If mermaids are in the moon pool at this time, they will lose their powers for twelve hours. 
Another EXTREMELY powerful full moon is when the planets align. This is even more powerful than the solar eclipse. It will take away a mermaid's powers, but not for twelve hours. FOREVER!You have to be in the moon pool for it to take away your powers.  December 17, 2013 is luckily not a solar eclipse or including planetary aligments.

Note: Full mermaids are not affected by full moons. In fact, they quite enjoy it. The moon is worshiped by full mermaids.
