What's the difference between Corruption and Transmutation?

[Hortonhearsahoot]

Corruption simply transforms an object/person into something different. Transmutation can turn stuff into different organisms/objects as well. What's the difference? Does corruption turn people into different versions of themselves while transmutation is more versatile (like a zombie infecting somebody to make them become another one vs a wizard turning an enemy into a rock)?

Corruption is usually how in fiction guy A turns the guy B bad which changes something's about B like black details appearing where it usually was colourful and changes their mind making them more aggressive or control them completely. Transmutation is just change anything into another.

There are a lot of abilities that only differ because of the name given to them
