***4th year Transfiguration***
"Wecome to Transfiguration! I'm Prof. Ready, your teacher!"
Here you learn spells that change things into something else."

    This spell may be the most difficult spell you will ever learn. The spell type in general is called Elemental Creators. This kind of spell will turn one of the four elements (earth, wind, fire, water) into one of the others.
The phrases to these spells are as follows: earth is Rocka, water is Aquil, fire is Fortnik, and wind is Reknoar. Changing earth to water is the easiest of the spells to do, for they are both ‘solid’ matter (the spell would be RockaAquil). Fire is a bit tougher, for it is energy, and it dies and lives more quickly. If you were in the middle of Alaska and had only some melted snow, the spell would be AquilFortnik , because you are turning the water into a warm fire. Fire might be tough, but wind is the most complicated one of all. If you were in a battle and wished to hurl all of your opponents backward, you’d only need a fingernail sized rock to take out a hundred men. Just chant RockaRecknoar. Even though you would have to say it in proportion (RockaREKNOAR), wind doesn’t work that way; it will instantly increase or decrease in size. All of these spells are tough to perform, and even a slight mispronunciation could be fatal.
