Arcanist Archetype: Brown-Fur Transmuter

Powerful Change (Su): At 3rd level, the brown-fur
transmuter learns to harness the power of her magic to
empower her transmutations. Whenever the brown-fur
transmuter casts a transmutation spell using one of her
arcanist spell slots, she can expend 1 point from her arcane
reservoir as a free action to bolster the spell. If the spell
grants a bonus to an ability score, the bonus then increases
by 2. If it grants a bonus to more than one ability score,
only one of the ability scores gains this bonus. The brownfur
transmuter cannot expend more than 1 point from
her arcane reservoir in this way. This ability replaces the
arcanist exploit gained at 3rd level.

Does this work with Enlarge Person and Reduce Person?

Argument for: The spell entries themselves say that the target is granted a size bonus to an ability score, therefore Powerful Change kicks in and increases the amount right?

or

Argument against: The spell itself isn't granting the ability scores, they are instead a byproduct of the size change, since all "scaling" sizes of monsters uses those same stat increases/decreases.

Wanting to hear people's thoughts on this please.
