magical transformation

Spell-induced metamorphosis

Magical transformation is a change in form, nature, or appearance brought about by supernatural means.

The phrase appears in fairy tales and fantasy, where witches turn princes into frogs or pumpkins become carriages.

It also describes any dramatic change that seems to defy ordinary explanation: The renovation was a magical transformation of the old warehouse.
