Nothing when melted and rehardened changes into granite. Scientists cannot artificially produce granite like other rock.
Robert V. Gentry says all granite came into existence in 3 minutes or less. Gentry says granite is not igneous rock or molten rock. Granite never has fossils in it. There is something in the granite that makes it primary.

While most of the crystallization of a granite is very slow (thousands of years) the latest stages of crystallization can occur rather instantly. I assume you are probably referring to this phenomena.
When the magma reaches the eutectic point of quartz and K-feldspar a fast crystallization of both minerals will occur, producing a graphic texture or symplectite (a more general term when two minerals grew together).
So, crystallization at the eutectic is what you are referring to.

Edit:
I see you have posted, more info on this. Unfortunately, your addition is completely wrong. Mr. Gentry is another of the creationists that try to change science to his convenience without using critical thinking.
There are many successful experiments in the lab about granite formation, there has been a lot of past and current research on the topic. You should look that up. So, what your saying is completely wrong and false.
My advise to you, follow the bible: "give science to scientists and leave god to priests and people with faith". You can not give foolish arguments to the people, you are just discrediting yourself and your cause.

Granite does not form instantly. Granite forms from the slow cooling of emplaced magma in the earth's crust. The slow cooling process allows the minerals in the magma to form crystals large enough to be visible with the naked eye (megascopic). The cooling rate is affected by how deep the magma is emplaced; the deeper the magma is emplaced, the slower the cooling process, the larger the mineral crystals.
Rhyolites are the microscopic equivalent of granite (similar mineral compositions, etc). Rhyolites are formed by volcanic processess very close to the surface of the earth, if not on the surface of the earth (as volcanic emissions as ash, tephra, bombs/blocks, tuff)

Igneous rocks are formed when rock (magma) cools and solidifies, with or without crystallisation, either below the surface as intrusive (plutonic) rocks or on the surface as extrusive (volcanic) rocks. This magma can be derived from partial melts of pre-existing rocks in either the Earth's mantle or crust. Typically, the melting is caused by one or more of the following processes -- an increase in temperature, a decrease in pressure, or a change in composition. Over 700 types of igneous rocks have been described, most of them formed beneath the surface of the Earth's crust.

Granite-composition melt may have a liquidus temperature as low as about 700°C

The Spaghetti Monster touched it with his noodly appendage and made it so. This process is called 'pastafication'.
