Im Writting A mermaid story but confused of how to put it together?

Question

Im writting a storry where this girl (me) is from the south jersey shore and my friend and i find this weird sea spell in a book my friend got. Im confused because after we do it youre a mermaid wich is unknown to us but should me and her both be mermaids??? We are both very rebelious and kinda anti social and she is going through a witchcraft phase(in the story). So please help!

Answer 1

You either need to resolve this by having the two characters say the spell together, or by having first one than the other turn. I suggest you turn it completely into fiction by changing the character names that way you can concentrate on is the story logical, and not accuracy of character portraits. There is no reason both characters can't be mermaids, conflicts can occur naturally from this. Focus on the story you want to tell, and you can figure out plot devices latter.

Answer 2

Well, in reality the person doing the spell needs to be able to do magic.  So, if you're friend is going through a "witch" phase, maybe she has enough power to actually do the spell.  So, when she says it it causes you to transform.  So, you would be a mermaid, but she wouldn't be.

Just reading a spell doesn't do anything.  You have to be trained in the art of magic.

o.k how bout u  are digging in the sand   and u find a charm witch uncontrollable turns u in to mermaids when u go in water!?

and then u have to  learn to be nicer to people and u then can control ur mermaid magic(it the part were things change for the better!)

Answer 4

maybe only you turn into a mermaid because you're more innocent than your friend, but your friend is a half-mermaid because she also said the spell. maybe then you have to figure out how to change her into a full mermaid, and go through a series of phases to get her out of that rebellious and other phase.
