(no subject)

"Permanent Gender Alteration Spells are few and far between, but not only due to their innate complexity. Spells, in the general sense, are inherently temporary, fuelled by the energy of the Spell Caster, as any novice-level witch or wizard is well aware. Though it is still a heavily debated subject, the majority of experts and modern text authors in the field of basic Casting agree that spells can be classified as "organic" due to their tendency to degrade over time, however there is still an awful lot of quibbling over whether or not they can be considered "matter," the main opposing argument being that which is not solid cannot degrade. This argument tends to open an entirely new can of worms, the contents of which often includes but is not limited to: whether or not Conjured and Transfigured items fall under the grander category of "Casting," by what means "Casting" can be universally defined, whether the issue is at all worth arguing over, and if the person who brought it up in the first place would like a good thumping.

A Permanent Gender Alteration Spell would require constant concentration on the part of the Caster, not to mention a particularly high skill level in Transfiguration. Potions would carry the same burden of the need for regular doses to be administered. There are as of yet no known successful cases of Magically Assisted Permanent Gender Alteration."
