'''Conjuration''' is a branch of [[Transfiguration]] in which an object or an animal is Transfigured from 'thin air'. Although some conjuration spells are simpler and are taught to younger students, most spells are [[Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test|N.E.W.T.]]-level and are taught to [[Sixth year]]s and above at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]]. According to [[Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration]], food cannot be conjured, however, life can.
  
  +
'''Conjuration''' was an advanced form and type of [[Transfiguration]],<ref name="HM5OWLS">{{HM|5|Ordinary Wizarding Levels|1}} - ([https://youtu.be/t6OeEtRZISo?t=44 see this video])</ref> some of the most complex [[magic]] taught at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]].<ref name="OP13" /> Conjurations were distinguished from the other branches of Transfiguration, by their ability to transfigure the desired object from 'thin air', while its opposite, [[Vanishment]], caused desired objects to disappear from existence.
  +
  +
Conjuration was more than difficult than [[Transformation]], [[Switching]], and [[Vanishment]] and was only taught to students at [[Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test|N.E.W.T.]]-level.<ref name="OP13" /> The only form of Transfiguration that exceeded Conjuration in difficulty was [[Human Transfiguration]]. Conjuration also had some overlap with [[charm]]s and some [[dark charm]]s, such as the [[Water-Making Spell]] and the [[floating eye curse]].

Since Conjuration was an advanced form of Transfiguration, most were [[Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test|N.E.W.T.]]-level, taught to [[sixth year|sixth-year]]s and above at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]],<ref name="OP13">{{OOTP|B|13}}</ref> although some conjurations were simpler and taught to younger students. Some conjurations taught included the [[Fire-Making Spell]] (''Incendio''), the [[Water-Making Spell]] (''Aguamenti'') and the [[Bird-Conjuring Charm]] (''Avis''), the former two of which were taught in [[Charms (class)|Charms]] class. There were limits as to what can be conjured; [[Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration]] had five Principal Exceptions which could not be conjured, one of which was "good food".<ref name="DH15">{{DH|B|15}}</ref>
  +
  +
According to ''[[Book of Spells]]'' by [[Miranda Goshawk]], "''for reasons that are still not fully understood ... two categories of creature are easier to conjure from nothing than any other: birds and snakes.''"<ref name="WBS">{{WBS}}</ref> The spells to conjure these creatures were the [[Bird-Conjuring Charm]] and the [[Snake Summons Spell]] respectively.

  +
Many things could go wrong when attempting to conjure something from nothing, especially in the case of living creatures. If Conjuration was not performed exactly right or if the caster was simply messing around with Conjuring Spells, mistakes such as [[frog]]-[[rabbit]] hybrids could occur.
  +
  +
The hybrids in question could be explainable by the magical law [[Principle of Artificianimate Quasi-Dominance]]. Things such as severed heads and indeterminate stumps could also occur, when the conjuration wasn't exactly right, as well.<ref name="WBS" />

Hand pointing right transparent Warning!

At least some content in this article is derived from information featured in: Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery & Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells & Harry Potter: Magic Awakened & Hogwarts Legacy.
As such, spoilers will be present within the article.

"Quirrell snapped his fingers. Ropes sprang out of thin air and wrapped themselves tightly around Harry."
— Quirinus Quirrell conjuring ropes[src]

Conjuration was an advanced form and type of Transfiguration,[1] some of the most complex magic taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[2] Conjurations were distinguished from the other branches of Transfiguration, by their ability to transfigure the desired object from 'thin air', while its opposite, Vanishment, caused desired objects to disappear from existence.

Conjuration was more than difficult than Transformation, Switching, and Vanishment and was only taught to students at N.E.W.T.-level.[2] The only form of Transfiguration that exceeded Conjuration in difficulty was Human Transfiguration. Conjuration also had some overlap with charms and some dark charms, such as the Water-Making Spell and the floating eye curse.

Nature

"...these are easier than Conjuring Spells, which you would not usually attempt until N.E.W.T level."
— Professor McGonagall informing her fifth year class of the difficulty level of conjuration[src]
Hagrid conjuring fire

Hagrid conjuring fire out of thin air with the use of his wand

Since Conjuration was an advanced form of Transfiguration, most were N.E.W.T.-level, taught to sixth-years and above at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,[2] although some conjurations were simpler and taught to younger students. Some conjurations taught included the Fire-Making Spell (Incendio), the Water-Making Spell (Aguamenti) and the Bird-Conjuring Charm (Avis), the former two of which were taught in Charms class. There were limits as to what can be conjured; Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration had five Principal Exceptions which could not be conjured, one of which was "good food".[3]

According to Book of Spells by Miranda Goshawk, "for reasons that are still not fully understood ... two categories of creature are easier to conjure from nothing than any other: birds and snakes."[4] The spells to conjure these creatures were the Bird-Conjuring Charm and the Snake Summons Spell respectively.

Dangers

Frog-rabbit mutation

A frog-rabbit hybrid

Many things could go wrong when attempting to conjure something from nothing, especially in the case of living creatures. If Conjuration was not performed exactly right or if the caster was simply messing around with Conjuring Spells, mistakes such as frog-rabbit hybrids could occur.

The hybrids in question could be explainable by the magical law Principle of Artificianimate Quasi-Dominance. Things such as severed heads and indeterminate stumps could also occur, when the conjuration wasn't exactly right, as well.[4]

Known instances of Conjuration

"However, these brothers were learned in the magical arts, and so they simply waved their wands and made a bridge appear across the treacherous water."
