Please don’t do this to me, game... This is very stupid idea.

I believe there is a difference between Shrinking Solution and Shrinking Charm, yes. Shrinking Solution is pretty much an age reversal potion while shrinking. The Shrinking Charm just shrinks the affected without reversing age.

Maybe. I couldn’t really think of a “Topher just shrinks” joke, though. *shrug*

Shrinking Charm

So you know how in fanfiction how any problem is just fixed with a simple shrinking charm? So it got me wondering as to how it actually worked! Applying a bit of science to this, shirking charms wouldn't actually 'shrink' the molecules of the object but merely make a few molecules disappear? Which would imply that a few molecules disappear during the process of shrinking and reappear during enlarging. But is that even possible? The other explanation (to which science cannot be applied) is that the molecules are actually shrunk and so does the object itself. But that would mean that it would be a highly dense object to have the same mass as before. So from all of this, I reached absolutely no conclusion and have realized that my life is going absolutely no where. Perfect.
