Transmogrification

Sign in to edit

Transmogrification,[1] also known as transmutation,[2][3] was a form of magic that involved transforming another person's or object's shape into another form of matter.[1]

It was different from glamours in that the latter were merely illusions.[4] Shapeshifting was the term employed for the ability of a being changing their own shape.[5]

During Halloween in 1997, Ethan invoked Janus to curse anyone wearing the costumes from his shop to become whatever they were dressed as. This included changing their species and inducing specific mind-sets.[9] Years later, Ethan used a spell to turn Giles into a Fyarl demon.[10]
