Please don’t change it. It’s more than awesome enough as it is. Even if I did expect partial transfiguration to have some role, using the wand itself as raw material was tremendously surprising. For many people it will look too easy, but only with the benefit of hindsight.
Edited to add: some previous chapter should be modified to establish that transfiguration is indeed wordless.

Only with the benefit of hindsight? I bet 3 people that the solution won’t involve PT, 2 of them within hour(s) of chapter 113 coming out, as it was the most obvious (while impausible for some) solution for many people. Specifically transfiguring the tip of wand/leg/earth/air into nanowires was mentioned by so many people within minutes of posting the chapter.. There was no hindsight involved.

Edited to add: I’m stupid. Chapter 15 says it is.

The solution was actually posted to reddit after chapter 112, before there was a final exam at all.
