I am exploring some usage issues of "change" sense of the verb "turn":
I looked up dictionaries and it seems that "turn" should be used with "into" to be safe and that "to" could be used with "turn" for poetic effect. What do native speakers think?
1. Water could turn to/into ice.
2. The magician turned the cat to/into a rabbit.
