Template:A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration - Vera Verto

In a manner which I have occasionally wished to employ with certain students, eradicating tardiness by making them maps or pocket watches, for example, we turn now to the metamorphosis of animate entities, in other words changing small creatures into glasses.

This spell has been known in its time as both "Fera Verto" and "Vera Verto", but it is the second title we will use, for consistency's sake. The end product, all being well, should be a goblet you can drink out of, but please don't panic, we won't be putting that to the test. . . this early in the term.

So, in this case, the wand actions required are three short, sharp taps, and then pointing at the subject as you speak the incantation, "Vera Verto". Three taps, point and "Vera Verto". Take one small creature each, and have a go!
