"each word can be used as a verb and a transitive verb". No, effect is a noun (affect is the verb and that is the difference between the two). I always think of "cause and effect" to remember which is which. For some reason, that helps me!

"Affect is usually a verb meaning 'to influence.' Effect is usually a noun meaning 'result.' (e.g., The drug did not affect the disease, and it had adverse side effects.) Effect can also be a verb meaning 'to bring about.' (e.g., Only the president can effect such dramatic change.)
