So, it occurs to me that Percy's manipulation of Liquid is missing some stuff. I'm putting it as "Limited" because it's not something he directly has access to, but a consequence of his powers controlling Liquids. This could also easily be changed to Optional Equipment if desired-Just know that these are supposed to circumstantial abilities.
Okay, for one, Percy should have Limited Fire Manipulation. This comes from manipulating the Phlegethon, which is confirmed/stated multiple times to be not a form of water, but instead literally LIQUID fire that can melt even fire resistant monsters. Percy should also have Limited Emotional Manipulation-From manipulating the Cocytus, which is literally just pure Misery and Sadness put into liquid form. This is further assisted by him manipulating the Styx, (which should give him Soul Destruction and Deconstruction, as it vaporizes those it touches and burns away their Souls), which is also polluted with the literal dead hopes and dreams of humanity, (though one could argue that it's solely physical items and not actually the water based on the passages, but I personally interpret it to be both given how ). And he should have Limited Memory Manipulation, as if he is nearby can manipulate the Lethe, which erases one's memory completely and makes them totally susceptible to the power of suggestion after.
Percy should also have Supernatural Willpower, as he was briefly able to withstand the sorrows of the Cocytus, though he eventually succumbed on his own until being aided emotionally by Annabeth. This is redoubled by him tanking the Acheron, which Annabeth was going to succumb to. It's also specifically stated in The Sun and the Star that even standing on the banks of the Acheron will rip your soul to pieces, via what is basically Akuma's Raging Demon (Your Sins), so Percy's Soul Manipulation Resistance justification should be updated Either as "Enhanced" or, preferably, staying ONE layer and saying Percy's resistance just got better. Annabeth also claims that Percy's super jump over it might have come from him using the power of the River, though it's unknown, so you could possibly reason it further justifies the things Percy gets from manipulating the Cocytus. (As such would be listed as "possibly" in the justification.)
I also think Mild/Moderate Mind Manipulation Resistance would fit, as well, under the same logic of Post-Flashpoint Batman's: Withstanding the mental struggle/voices of multiple minds. In this case from the Acheron and the Cocytus. The same applies to Annabeth (Supernatural Willpower, as she was able to fight off the Cocytus after Percy nearly succumbed and stopped protecting her, and after being emotionally reinforced by Percy could ignore the Acheron, as well as Mind Manip Resistance), but it's very clearly shown that Annabeth was affected by it until Percy brought her away from the bank-Leaping "30 yards ahead" of it, so she wouldn't get Soul Manip Resistance from this. Nico and Will also would get it from the Acheron as well before they became immune, I believe.
I think that's it.
