Here's an explained list of all his powers.

Hydrokinesis: Absolute control of water and anything that contains a significant amount of water. which includes Body Fluids(Blood), Poison(Toxikinesis), Ice and snow (Cryokinesis). I don't see how this isn't logical. He is the son of the Sea god.

Aerokinesis: Limited amount of control over wind. He can create Hurricanes and typhoons. which is logical because Hurricanes and typhoons come from the sea in the first place. What would make this illogical is if he could fly or control Anemoi Thuellai ,and unlike a certain Blond Superman I know.....he cant.

Geokinesis: Percy can generate earthquakes and (consequently) cause volcanic eruptions. Logical he is the son of the Earth Shaker.

and why can't he talk to aquatic and Equine Animals ( Fish And Horses). Poseidon Created them.....

If there are unexplained or unmentioned powers, please reply. He's the son of a sea god, not the god of every liquid in existence. Lets look at this from a chemical point of view. The only difference between Sea water and Fresh water is the concentration of salt ions dissolved into the water. Sea water has way more salt ions than fresh water.

Suggesting that Percy's control of water should be limited to the type of water that has the most salt ions is suggesting that his control of water is actually the control of ions in the water.....does this mean that Poseidon  is a actually the god of salt?

Even though we can find a way for that thesis to make sense. Fresh water and every form of liquid, which is mainly constituent of water(Blood included) contains salt ions. way less than sea water.....but its still there. I think this makes sense as Percy  may be able to control fresh water, but salt water makes him stronger while fresh water doesn't make him as strong.

Please reply

You bring up very valid points, but don't forget that Poseidon's domain is the sea and not liquids in general. It doesn't matter if sea water is similar to fresh water or blood, Poseidon's power is only supposed to extend over the seas since that is what he claimed when he drew lots with Zeus and Poseidon.
