- "However, mastering a transfiguration spell such as "Avifors" can be both rewarding and useful."
- —The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2 on the Avifors Spell[src]
The Avifors Spell (Avifors) is a transformation spell which changes a small object or animal into a bird or flocks of birds (or, in certain circumstances, bats), by directing a flash of electric blue light at the target.
This spell is learned in the First and improved upon in the Second-Year Transfiguration Class (or so, it is by Professor Minerva McGonagall).
Avifors should not be confused with the Bird-Conjuring Charm, whose incantation is a base in the etymology of this transfigurative charm, and whose effect is Conjuring a flock of birds, and does not involve Transfiguration.
When used in an offensive manner, i.e. while dueling, a jet of blue light will shoot from the caster's wand and hit the target, which will erupt into a burst of electric-blue light that soon solidifies into a flock of black bats, which promptly fly away, though they may also be controlled by the caster for various purposes.

EtymologyEdit
From Latin avis meaning bird, and "fors" (a suffix often used in transfiguration spells) is Latin for "chance, luck, fortune".
