The difference between Charms and Transfiguration? Beverly Wayne preferred Charms to the latter. She pretty sure Bellaire wouldn't want to hear THAT difference. So she'd go with the scholarly answer instead of her preference, WHICH should be taken into consideration for future reference. Just FYI. She raised her hand.

"The difference between the two is that Charms adds or alters properties of an object, and what is does. Contrast to Transfiguration where it literally changes what an object is." Does and is, key words, yeah?

Putting her hand down, Beverly observed with interest as professor Bellaire did. The wand movement, her stance, and what the incantation was - though she didn't get the last one. Soon there were tiny clouds floating around and one came and parked itself next to her. Rubbing her now gloved hands together, she looked back up at the older witch with a small impressed look.

She nodded. Yep. She understands and all that. Would she lose points if she poked her cloud? It was so FLUFFY.
