Template:A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration - Rabbit Slippers

A real linguistic challenge, "Crepidae cuniculorum", this otherwise simple spell will show us what you are truly made of - Transfigurationally speaking. Here, for the first time, we will deal with living creatures - rabbits, in fact. Your sensibilities as a wand wielder will say as much, if not more, about the kind of magic user you become than the raw power, or intellectual prowess you manage to bring to the task. ANYONE found abusing, in any way, these living components will discover the depths and all the degrees of my displeasure.

So, for Rabbit Slippers, the incantation is, as I have mentioned, "Crepidae cuniculorum", and given the convolutions of that phrase, you might like to take a few moments just now to practice it out loud, individually.

Yes, it is a strange turn of phrase, but not, I assure you, the strangest that you'll meet during your time with us, so you'd better get used to it. The wand movement is equally a new one for us, a little twirl of the wand over the subjects. Personally, I find that if I roll my wand between thumb and forefinger I get very much the desired effect. Of course, those of you who insist on holding your wands like a talon will just have to improvise, I suppose. You can, if absolutely necessary, make small circles with a whole wrist action, but I feel it's a little - ham-fisted.
