This chapter will look closely at the Transfiguration spell of Reparifarge. Incomplete Transfigurations are difficult to put right, but you must attempt to do so. Leaving the head of a rabbit on a footstool is irresponsible and dangerous. Say 'Reparifarge!' and the object or creature should return to its natural state.
The word is derived from Latin, repari meaning "rehab", and farge for "color". It is the incantation used when undoing mistakes in any Transfiguration attempt, and is pronounced re-par-ee-far-je.
Looking back at our categories in Chapter 1, this spell falls under the Transformation Transfiguration branch. It is used to transform a mistake back to its original, untransformed self. It is also a spell that stretches into the branch of Untransfiguration, and is basic in the Untransfiguration branch and should be used as soon as a mistake is made.
The spell itself does not cast any light or noise, but reverses any Transfiguration mistake made and returns it to normal. This is done by pointing at it with the caster's wand.
The level of this Transfiguration is somewhat basic.
t= Fixes Transfiguration mistakes
a= caster must be heavier than the object
v= intent must be at least medium-mild
w= any wand power
c= moderate
Z= well-spoken, as clear as possible
