Transfiguration

The most powerful of transformations, transfiguration is able to do all that is regulary associated with "shapeshifters". They can change their shape and composition as well as their size. A transfigurer could shrink themselves down, grow larger, or easily turn into a mouse.
Transfiguration that does not require the user to find a place for all material in their body. The substance is changed into magic and then back when their form is resumed. This may or may not involve complete transfer of consciousness and great effort must be taken to retain one's wits when becoming lesser creatures or be subject to being lost in those forms.
Greater amounts of magical energy are expended to multiple anatomical material, integrate outside material by advanced transmutation, or to create like material. Some transfigurers are limited in the focus of their spell or possess a limited innate power, only being able to shrink, grow larger, etc. Transfigurers thus are also called shrinkers and swellers, according to that limit.
Those that are limited to animal forms are called skinwalkers (in contrast to skinchangers). Transfigurers also colloquially go by the name of leprechauns, because of the similarity to the spirit in the mischeviousness of their size.
