Lucas entered the Exam Hall with a sigh. Hopefully the Exam wasn't very hard; he had been studying the whole night, and there were circles under his eyes. At professor Romain's instruction, he started to answer the Exam. He looked down at his paper and read the first question:

Which type of transfiguration spell uses the least amount of magic?
A) Non-living to non-living
B) Living to living
C) Non-living to living
D) Living to non-living

Lucas stared at the paper. Finally, deciding to just guess than not answer at all, he answered "A) Non-living to non-living." With a sigh, he moved on to the next question.
