A charm is a spell meant to alter a an object's properties, whether it be something simple as its color or something as drastic as its memories. They are different from transfiguration spells in that they do not alter its complete structure. (Example: After changing a toad's skin color from green to brown, it is still fundamentally a toad, but now it is much less sickly-looking and much easier to love.)
