The Transformation

A lot of people ask me if the transformation hurts. No, it doesn't. The transformation is kind of hard to explain in detail but I can try.

What really triggers the transformation is the moonlight not the moon itself. The moon's light is a reflection of the sun's rays. When the sun gives off its UV rays and they hit the moon the UV rays mixes with the moon's surface rock and sand, because there are no air molecules, thus there is no atmosphere to reflect and absorb the UV rays, Themoon absorbs all of the UV rays into its surface. So over hundreds of thousands of years the moon collects around 10 to 15 times more radiation, UV rays, than the Earth. When the moon collects enough radiation over time it stops absorbing it and it reflects off of the moon. An analogy would be if the UV rays were people and the moon was an elevator/lift that never moves. When the elevator/lift gets full no more people can get in, but they try. The people trying to get in are rejected and move away. With radiation, however, when it's reflected, it pulls or breaks off other radiation already on he moon's surface. So, the moon loses radiation already on it and it reflects the constant UV rays from the sun. This almost doubles the amount of radiation hitting the Earth if the moon didn't already give off radiation on its own, and more than the sun, thus no transformations can take place during the day. The reason that transformation doesn't occur on any other cycle of the moon is because when the moon is in a half cycle, for example, only half receives sunlight, and thus UV rays, while the other side doesn't. Even though the "dark side" of the moon still gives off radiation, it's only about 1/3 of the radiation reflected and given off by the other side. The radiation given off from a full moon is plenty enough for a full transformation.

So now you know why and when a transformation takes place, now I will tell you how. Now, werewolves aren't born as werewolves, we are in a way created. In order to become a werewolf a person has to get bitten by another werewolf. But like I said we aren't born as werewolves. So, the first werewolf was actually bitten by a pure wolf. Now, people can and are still becoming werewolves by pure wolves, but it is not very likely for someone to get bitten by a werewolf or pure wolf, because both are not prone to bite. Any mixture of wolf or werewolf blood entering the human system is enough for them to become a werewolf. Even though people have killed thousands of wolves records from around the world show they have killed none of us. I already mentioned that the radiation from the moon triggers a werewolf's transformation, but in a pure wolf the radiation can cause its DNA to strengthen so that it doesn't become overpowered in the human body. Now this isn't in all pure wolves, just a few, This strengthening of the DNA usually only occurs in wolves that spend a lot of time in the sun and moonlight and they usually have missing fur exposing parts of their skin making them more susceptible to the moon's radiation.

If a person spends a lot of time in the sun and moonlight or are near similar types of radiation, such as power plants or radiation in medicine their DNA, unlike wolves because their DNA is different, it starts to become weak but it doesn't break up. When wolf blood enters that person, that wolf's DNA enters their body and is there as an extra. That extra DNA brings about an imbalance in their body and causes their DNA to weaken even further. When the next full moon occurs the transformation happens. After about 110 minutes in direct moonlight, the radiation causes the DNA to break apart. But the wolf DNA stays intact because wolves have an immune system in their DNA from being outside constantly that stops the weakening process. Not all of the DNA breaks apart because of the strength of certain DNA and what information it contains. It's like a ranking system; there are the strongest strands for every part of the body. DNA containing "blue prints" for the nervous system, for example, are split into parts, the main strand controls the smaller DNA. It's those DNA that break up. At the same time the broken human DNA reforms into the "species" of animal DNA in the most quantity, which would be the wolf's DNA. The whole transformation takes about 10 to 15 minutes. In that time the person feels extremely little pain. They can feel their bones shrinking, a tail sprouting, and fur covering their body. The oddest part is the sensation of the wolf instincts flooding the mind and the view change from 5'9" above ground and near-sighted to 3'2" and perfect vision, hearing, taste, and especially smell.

Once the transformation is complete it lasts for about 7 to 8 hours, depending on how long they stay outside. When the person wishes to change back they must enter a place of shade from the moonlight. Once in the shade for 30 minutes, the dominant DNA, the human DNA, starts to reform new human DNA strands. The de-transformation lasts for about 10 minutes, and we do need clothes laid out once it's done.
