  It weighs the same, clearly the moons surface is ionizing reflected light in a way that triggers the reaction.

    You’re forgetting the sun’s gravity. Moon phases are caused by the relative angles of sun/moon/earth. So are the various levels of tides. It must affect werewolves as well.

    This is why they only change during a full moon; less moonlight than that is not enough to catalyze the reaction.
