I read over that Transfiguration stuff, and I couldn't help but notice that it's not actually Transfiguration at all, but Alchemy (which is an actual thing in the HP universe). It's worth noting that, because Alchemy isn't actually taught at Hogwarts, all of these skills would have to be completely self-taught or learned elsewhere.

What you basically described was "Using Alchemy instead of Transfiguration". Also, as far as I know, no legitimate "Spells" are preformed without the need for an incantation (Verbal or non-Verbal).

Tip mentioned wanting 7 characters per house, so I think you're safe to apply.

I read over that Transfiguration stuff, and I couldn't help but notice that it's not actually Transfiguration at all, but Alchemy (which is an actual thing in the HP universe). It's worth noting that, because Alchemy isn't actually taught at Hogwarts (1), all of these skills would have to be completely self-taught or learned elsewhere.

What you basically described was "Using Alchemy instead of Transfiguration" (2). Also, as far as I know, no legitimate "Spells" are preformed without the need for an incantation(3) (Verbal or non-Verbal).


1. Except it's totally taught.

2. Alchemy is a branch of magic and an ancient science concerned with the study of the four basic elements, as well as the study of the transmutation of substances; it is thus intimately connected with potion-making, chemistry and transformation magic. From the wiki, once again. Notice how David's conservative transmutation doesn't entail any potions, and it's specifically made so that no transformation occurs. What you start with is what you get at the end. Thus, it is not alchemy.

Maybe you think it is because you're familiar with Full Metal Alchemist, but by any standards of the Harry Potter universe, FMA's alchemy is much more similar to HP's transfiguration than its alchemy. Or you can read about how an alchemy class takes place from Harry Potter and the Half-Blooded Prince, where Slughorn teaches at Hogwarts, and see that said class is very similar to Potions, actually, and not much else.

3. This is markedly wrong. Almost all the early spells taught in transfiguration are performed with wand movements alone. You can check the books. Also, only Permutative Alchemy is wordless, it's just that for Rebuilding and Base alchemy you only need Reducto and Stabiliendum in varios combinations and tempo instead of a long list of incantations.

Well if it's a case of wanting that many per house I guess I'm safe to post up a quick CS for a Ravenclaw character! Of course I will just post it here and take extra time to announce all of this by working on the CS but oh well it shouldn't take me too long!

"So you ask 'Why am I amazing?' Well it's simple..."

That's a really cool character, I like the design and he might be one of the first more art-inclined students we'd have around. However... I don't think he fits in Ravenclaw.

Well Wasn't sure where to place him...His base is off of another character I've made that was in Ravenclaw but the RP never really got off the ground so I never got the chance to use the Name or Pic like I've wanted to so I changed everything but that about him lol. Where woould you place him then? I figured since he's mostly an art person more than anything I'd go with Ravenclaw for the whole "Smarter than everyone else" thing since technically in art he's a genius and what not...But hey if you have a better suggestion I'd be glad to hear it!

Well, my mistake, I don't really pay attention to any sources outside of the original books. That said, that doesn't change that I don't like it. You're correct, though~

@Ciphra I'd place him in Hufflepuff, if I was the Hat :D

Oh, and WIP on Karen~



Of course, I'll finish with the clothes.
