Campfire Transfiguration: Hot dogs into spider dogs

A Tranfiguration recipe for Wiz Scouts:

When planning a meal around a campfire, do not settle for the common Muggle fare of hot dogs and buns. A small amount of magic is all it will take to transfigure a simple campfire bite into something far more interesting.

(This spell requires supervision and possibly assistance from an adult Scout leader.)

First, use a sharp knife, to cut each end of your hot dog lengthwise into four legs. Be careful to leave the center of the dog intact, or you will have all legs and no body for your spider.

Carefully poke the center of your dog with a clean, sharp stick or campfire roasting wire wand. Hold the cold dog over your campfire, turn slowly, and count to 60. Then say the incantation:

"Spiderificus!"

In a few more seconds, your hot dog will have completed its transformation into a deliciously edible Spider Dog.
