What's the difference between metaphysics and metaphysis?
Metaphysics
Definition:
(n.) The science of real as distinguished from phenomenal being; ontology; also, the science of being, with reference to its abstract and universal conditions, as distinguished from the science of determined or concrete being; the science of the conceptions and relations which are necessarily implied as true of every kind of being; phylosophy in general; first principles, or the science of first principles.
(n.) Hence: The scientific knowledge of mental phenomena; mental philosophy; psychology.

Metaphysis
Definition:
(n.) Change of form; transformation.
