"Yes transformation is quite strange. Sometimes it can fall under one school and sometimes another. Like..."*She tried to think for a moment.*"I believe there is a spell where people transform into animals. I think that's nature magic rather than purely transformation. I'm not the one who categorizes them though, so maybe someone more informed of it could understand it better. After all transformation isn't just purely for transforming. It can... Allow you to climb walls and jump very high too! I guess you'd really need a grimoire on it to see what so it can do though."
Garth
"Whoever does is mad or genius" *Grinning he starts to hum a strange tune, sporadic and almost random sounding without pattern. He tucks his arms and legs to his chest as his form begins to meld in on itself. His blond hair shifting downwards almost like a cocoon before shrinking and forming into a small sandy blond fox. The fox sits upright and looks towards Melody, an almost cheeky look in the creatures eyes as if to say 'Why yes that spell your thinking of is nature magic'*
Marisa
*Melody eyes widened, astounded by the sudden transformation. It was more so out of the surprise that he understood magic himself with his illiteracy, but perhaps it was something elves could simply pick up on better. After all, all silnaris had a bit of magic in them one way or another. She picked up on the cheekiness in the fox's gaze, meeting it with a bit of mischief of her own as she reached over to give to fox a pat on the head.*"And here I am thinking you couldn't get any cuter."*She said before moving her hand away once more in avoidance of demoralizing him too much.*"I was considered trying the spell, but I've come to prefer the ones I know now. Maybe in my free time though, it wouldn't be so bad finding some spells to learn for the fun of it."
Garth
*There was a guttural high pitched and almost squeaky giggle from the fox at seeing Melody's surprise, though it stopped at the head pat, pausing as if the pat was nice enough to stop his thoughts entirely. Tail wagging he looked down at it in annoyance before putting a foot on it to stop it, as if he couldn't stop it himself normally. Once that was done the blond fur started to shift and grow. A much quicker transformation back into a Silnari than vice versa. A small sigh escaped him once it was done, as if ending such a thing had a sense of relief* "S'like wearing clothes a size too small at first" *He pulled his collar away from his neck slightly as if it were choking him, though a smile remained, Seems he's probably happy to receive the compliment and with showing what little magic he knows to someone who appreciates such things as the arcane* 

"More spells would help" *He shrugged in agreement about finding more spells. Though after saying it he looked at the complicated pages of the books she was reading and grimaced at all the symbols once more. Though he did seem hopeful still* "One day..."
Marisa
*Melody eyed him for a moment, making note of the words he spoke before looking at her return pile. She flipped through them a bit before taking one out and handing it over to Shaw. It was pretty thin compared to the rest, but it seemed like she wanted him to look through it.*"I think you may take interest in this more."*The cover of the book had an image on it that seemed to resemble a tree with an apparition around it.*"It's a bit of reading but I think this one specifically covers summoning magic within the school of nature. I'm not sure if you understand it already or not, but if you don't this could possibly be something you might enjoy trying out."
Garth
*He looked at the book with scepticism for a moment before flipping through a few pages. A brow was quirked but he skimmed a few words, slowly but going through the titles he recognised some of the words. Once he started going his interest grew and he seemed quite happy to have been handed the book. Looking up for a moment he seemed rather grateful, giving her a nod of thanks he put the book away into a small bag for laterally* "How may I thank thee?"
Marisa
"No need. You've helped me enough as is."*She said, moving the kept books to her own bag so that she could check them out later. The Centaur stood up, reverting back to her own form in the process while she picked up the return books and began putting them back.*"Just nice to meet a friendly face every so often in a world like this. Don't get luxuries like that, especially not along the borders. Stay safe if you can. Wouldn't want to lose a new friend to earth's cruelty."*She said, turning back to him.*
Garth
*He nodded in understanding. A friendly chat was a appreciated break from the disorder and chaos that came from politics, not that Shaw had ever really been too involved with such things. Though at times even he saw its effects. He stopped himself from frowning and kept up a cheerful look, not wanting to sour their meeting with a sad subject.* "Good luck to you then" *Standing up he gave a small and respectful bow* "May we both f-find what we're looking for"
Marisa
"And may we meet again."*She said with a giggle, giving what could have been curtsy with her deer half lowering in imitation of a bow. The centaur turned away, trotting over to the front of the library so that she could check out the books. Turning to Shaw, she gave a final wave to him before trotting out the doors with her new books in hand.*
Garth
*Brightly and jovial he waved her good bye, Looking away once she had started trotting away. He sat back down and stretched in the chair with a yawn. Looking back at his pile of books with a sleepy sigh. Pulling them towards him he placed the mathematics book down and opened it. He gathered his wits about him and with seemingly increased vigor went about reading what he could.*
