"Well, the difference is, sir, that in Transfiguration we can change the physical form of a determined object, while in Charms we simply, erm... charm them? Sort of like give them a faculty it doesn't normally have," said the girl, her hand in the air.
| "One Point. And that is more along the lines of what I was looking for for Transfiguration. If I am not mistaken, Transfiguration alters the physical properties of an object, so thank you for mentioning the physicality of the object." Quote:

Cale raised his hand. "Well, Charms are spells that cause an object to behave in a way that it normally would not, and transfiguration spells change the appearance of something," he explained. He was pretty sure that was right, but then again, he could be wrong. That did happen sometimes.

Charms is when you want something to do something or to do something to someone, when Transfiguration is when you want to make something out of something or nothing." He frowned, that didn't sound right at all. What had a read? Listening to the others he ducked down in his seat, looking around anxiously.
| "A little convoluted, but yes, that is correct. One Point." Quote:

A small smile flickered to Evangeline's lips when she remembered that Professor Pierce had asked the same thing in her class last term. Hmmm. She sorta remembered the answer, and after a minute's thought, she raised her hand. "Well, Professor, a charm enchants an object to behave in a way that's not natural to it, but without changing the object itself - unlike Transfiguration spells that change inherent nature of an object." Or something like that.
| "Two Points! One for a correct definition, and another for the mention of the inherent nature!" Quote:

"Charms are a type of magic spell concerned with enchanting an object to behave in a way that isn't normal for that object. Transfiguration is magic which changes one object into another," she said.

"Charms teaches general spells and wandwork, while Trasnfiguration teaches the art of changing of the form and appearance of an object and the vanishing of objects." she said.

Kayla raised her hand. "Well with a charm you are enchanting an object to do something, whether to make it fly, to clean something or perhaps to even summon or banish something. With transfiguration you are basically turning an object ot maybe a person into something else. You are changing the features or even duplication."

Chewing on his lip, Terry threw a hand up in the air, 'With transfiguration we're changing an object's nature completely aren't we? And it's whole molecular structure's being altered? Whereas with charms, you're adding properties to the object, or making it do something, but in essence still remains the same item?'
| "Two Points for a fantastic answer! That is very interesting that you brought up the changing of molecules for transfiguration, while for charms, the molecules of the object that is being charmed remain the same. As to whether or not the actual molecules are changed, that is still being studied." Quote:

Becca grinned at the man as he appreciated her awkwardness. She stuck her hand in the air and spoke, "Charms and Transfiguration are really quite similiar, as a general statement. But while Transfiguration is about complete transformation, Charms is used more often in willing an object to do one’s bidding like... masking the appearance of a rat by 'changing' it to a glass. Right?"

Set raised his hand. "Well, charms is the study of learning spells, charms, jinxes, and curses. and transfiguration is the study of changing the appearance, make-up, or potition of an oblect." Set said. He was pretty confident because this is the subject he had read-up on the most and pre-studied the most.

Daphne wanted to raise her hand, but she had met Professor Ashby before and didn't want to embarrass herself by giving a daft response. No, perhaps it was better if she remained quiet until she could give an adequate answer. She was not looking forward to this lesson at all. It would be her first big lesson involving spells, and with her wrist injury, she didn't have much confidence in that.

She didn't bother answering the question as about 20 other students answered first. he didn't need them all to just repeat themselves all over.
| Ian could tell a few students wanted to provide answers, but appeared unsure of themselves. "Please, don't be afraid to share your thoughts in this class. This is a safe learning environment." Quote:

Cadence walked into the room with her usual bounce and found Set. She assumed the save seat was for her so she walked over to him, and he moved his bag and she sat down. She flashed an adoring smile at him and then began preparing for class.
Cadence raised her hand. Professor, in transfiguration we learn how to change or create the nature of something, whether by transfiguring it into something else, creating it, or sometimes even by giving life to inanimate objects. In charms we learn how to manipulate objects and people while they retain the same nature.

| "One point." "Yes, you were all correct," Ian said. "Charms are spells that manipulate an object or person, such as changing its physical properties or, as another example was given, summoning. However, when charming an object, it remains the same object. With Transfiguration, you are changing the physical properties and inherent nature of the object, therefore changing it into a different object.
So! Now that we have that out of the way, who can give me some examples of charms? Please ONLY provide ONE charm each in order to allow everyone to offer up their suggestions." |
