Kat stepped inside to let Doggy Dan continue playing outside. She needed to go over her spell book, and make sure she had the next spells memorized properly. If she did them wrong, an innumerable number of things could happen. Dan could change in any number of ways she hadn't planned, or the spells could affect her instead. That latter one was the more pressing reason for her to make sure she does them properly.
Reaching her room, she steps inside to see her book on her desk, with two of the pages marked with bookmarks. Opening the first of the marked pages, she reads the spell work and its effects.

Chapter 17
The New You Spell – Originating from the Roman Era where it was once called the Questae Mutatio. The New You Spell was made by the Roman witch Flavia Merula, it was believed that she used this spell on non-romans, rewriting their minds to believe that they were slaves and gladiators to her and her family.
The New You Spell works by physically rewiring the neurons of the targets brain. With the number of neurons needed to be affected to complete the spell it is impossible to complete instantly and must take anywhere from twelve hours to one week for the spell to finish. This large disparity is caused by the number of neurons of the target, thus; a target of lesser intellect will be affected faster than a person of higher intellect. Take note that the spell will note progress faster if a target of high intelligence has their mind rewritten into a lesser mind, such as person of lesser intellect or into the mind of an animal, as the spell does not remove or kill neurons, only rewires them.
(Note: some physical transformation spells can cause similar, but partial, affects as this spell)
Witches are warned that this spell does not have a known counter as of the writing of this book, and that the use of it on oneself will leave one doomed to whatever you had planned for your intended target. Along with that, the use of this spell on another witch is punishable, as of the writing of this book, with permanent removal of magic and ten years imprisonment.

Kat finished looking over the incantation and the effects of the New You Spell. After rereading the incantation over and practicing it, she felt that she was ready to check the third and last spell planned for Dan.

Chapter 9
The Reborn Soul Spell – Originating from ancient China by an unknown Witch it was once known as xīn línghún by the Witches that discovered it written on a scroll. Almost all information on this spell is lost and thus we do not know the purpose the original creator of the spell used it for.
The Reborn Soul Spell works by magically inducing a “reincarnation” of the target while still alive. The effects of this spell will vary wildly depending on the intended effect. Use of it on a human target with the intention of changing their spirit into that of the opposite gender has repeatedly resulted in people with dysphoria of their born gender.
Use of the spell on a human target with the intention of changing their spirit in that of an animal is much more different that a human-to-human switch. Discovered by an unknown witch in Constantinople in 1178, the human spirit was found to carry much more spiritual energy inside of it compared to the animal souls. This difference is even more dramatic when looking at the spirit of a witch to an animal’s soul.
Thus, use of this spell, unlike the effect of the New You Spell, removes parts of the spirit of a human and turns it into an animal’s soul. Take note that when the target dies, they will not enter the human Heavenly Realm, but instead will enter the Heavenly Realm of the Animal Family their soul has become of.
(Note: this spell is still being tested for different effects, use with caution)
As discovered by English Witch Matilda Picade, the afterlife is in fact divided into multiple “Heavenly Realms” in which the spirits/souls of the deceased enter. These Heavenly Realms are an infinitely expansive as to hold every spirit/soul of that species. Thus, there is a Heavenly Realm for Humans, one for the Canine Family, one for the Feline Family, and more for every other Family in the Animal Kingdom. The Spirits of the Human Heavenly Realm can enter other Realms temporarily if one wishes to visit a family pet.
As with the previously mentioned New You spell, this spell also has no known counter as of the writing of this book and the use on oneself can cause changes in desires at best, and at worst doom one’s soul to eternity separated from family and loved ones in the Heavenly Realms. Use of this spell on another witch is punishable, as of the writing of this book, with the same spell and effect being cast on the accused.

Kat smiled as she read the effects of the Reborn Soul spell, this was exactly what she wanted done to Dan. With a quick once over again of the incantation, she closed the book and checked the time, 10:26 pm. Kat let out a sigh as she stood up and left her room to get a snack to eat before going to bed. Tomorrow, she thought, tomorrow Dan is going to fully become her dog.
