Do you think it's a transposition effect..? Well, it never disappear or appear at all, it just visually moves from one spot to the other :confused:

There are other categories. Using the pigeon hole approach to effects, items like "lengthen and shorten" or "hotter and colder" have categories as well.

I'd say it is a topological effect, much like a sliding hole in a playing or business card.

That's still a transformation, in a broad sense of the word. Or it can be a restoration and destruction.
