Gold raised a hand. "The difference between actual life and animation or existence, sir?" She offered, quietly. Once again, that was only her understanding of the subject - or, rather, the specific topic they were tackling - and that said, it could be very flawed, in some places. "Or perception and reality. To someone without a proper understanding of the subject, it would look like it is very possibly to create 'life,' without magic - but --" her tones turned more thoughtful. "-- We can not create a soul." Not create life, in its bare and complete essence. The sixth year reflected on this, lowered her hand, and then raised it again, as she remembered something.

"I have a question, professor," she said politely. "Some sources state 'information,' as an exception to Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration. Would that be inference, sir, or is it an actual part of the Law?" Which, Gold thought, they were studying at a standard consistent, with their level. She knew at least two books, dedicated only to a complete elaboration of the said Law of Elemental Transfiguration.
