BREAD is a kind of food.

Move a letter to be magical

Wizards stereotypically have long BEARDs.

    "to be magical" = BEARD? Is warspyking launching a campaign to kill this form of puzzle? – Roland Aug 22 '15 at 18:13

    @warspyking, if that's the intended answer then a) the question needs some indication that each modification is of the previous line, rather than the first line; b) the only answer which really fits the clue is the second one. – Peter Taylor Aug 22 '15 at 18:16

    @Roland He's famous for asking crappy questions: having more questions than anyone else on the site, but most of them with negative scores. No offence, warspy - some of your puzzles have been great! – Rand al'Thor Aug 22 '15 at 18:16

    @randal'thor My poems are my babies, and as their creator, I'm a little hurt by the last hour's deluge of word puzzles. – Roland Aug 22 '15 at 18:20
  • @rand al'thor You nailed me! – warspyking Aug 22 '15 at 19:07
  • Just for the record, I do have (excluding deleted questions) far more 0+ questions than negatively scored questions. I can't count deleted because I can't find them... – warspyking Aug 23 '15 at 00:19
