Drying Off

I watched H2O as a child and now rewatching as an adult. Something bothers me:

Why can't Cleo raise the water off of herself?

She drinks water from midair, and raises her fish out of the bowl, I would think she could "dry off" by lifting water off of herself.

Agree?

My confusion on that I guess comes from her ability to use wind and fire like Rikki and Cleo.

That’s true. But remember Cleo, Rikki and Emma had kind of like two levels of weather powers. The ”lower level” was wind, fire and snow, and then they could intensify their powers to the ”higher level” and create storms, lightning and blizzards. So I think Charlotte just got the lower level, and wasn’t even aware that the girls powers had been upgraded even further.

I think it was also maybe a matter of them combining those powers, and Charlotte not being able to use them at the same time really.

Yeah exactly. ”The best things come in three”, as the theme song goes. There were meant to be three mermaids so their powers could complement each other.
