Hi guys! As you all know we have some serious trouble about Shapeshifting and Transformation. At the moment, we use Shapeshifting to describe changing a PERSON's appearance into another being, via spell or something else. And we use Transformation to describe changing an OBJECT's appearance into another object.

However, the show itself proved many times that Transformation actually exists also in the form of changing a person's appearance into another person, like Jafar did. You can check Transformation Potions to gain more information. And you'll see that what we use right now is purely wrong.

This means that the show itself says that Transformation is actually more comprenhensive. How many times did you hear the word "Shapeshifting"? I'm sure there are few, but the only time I remember is when Regina asked Rumple to cast on herself a Shapeshifting Spell in 220, which in fact, was a Glamour Spell. But I remember MANY TIMES that the word "Transformation" was used.

So, here's what I'm suggesting:

We create a page called "Glamour Spell". Because seriously, a Glamour Spell is neither Shapeshifting nor Transformation. It just changes the  people's PERCEPTION. I t definetely does not change the person's appearance at all. By the way, we also include here the Six-leaf Clover as it is stated that that is a Glamour Spell, too.

Then we create another page called "Transformation" which will include everything from the Shapeshifting page, like Dragon ability, Siren ability, Flying Monkey bite, also Shapeshifting Spell etc. But in addition, we also include "Transfiguration" which will be about changing an object's appearance into a different one, like Merlin transforming the Holy Grail to Excalibur, as well as the Alchemy.

So, what do you think? Did you like it? Please share your opinions :)
