If I could break down the process for you I would, but most of the spells we use today are hundreds of years old. Exactly how a wizard developed Switching Spells or Transfiguration magic not many understand today. Many times spells were found by trial and error just like a muggle medication is develop. A wizard put together a word or combinations of word with a wand movement while thinking about he or she wanted to occur. Some times it worked while other times it did not. It is a combination of wand movement, voice command and the very nature of natural world that performs the transfiguration. No camera would be able to photograph or film the wonder because it is so fast of a transformation." Professor McAiken responsed.
"i see. it was..rearranging atoms right?...do you think these atoms...start from scratch, or just shifts them into another form like..molding..."
