Conjuration is a branch of Transfiguration. Conjurations are distinguished from the other branches of transfiguration by their ability to transfigure the desired object from 'thin air'. Although some are simpler and are taught to younger students, most conjurations are N.E.W.T.-level and are taught to Sixth years and above at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, such as Aguamenti. According to Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration, food cannot be conjured.

Behind the scenes

J.K. Rowling has said that items conjured from thin air tend not to last long. ^[1]

If Conjuration is not performed correctly, mistakes such as frog-rabbit hybrids can occur, explainable by the Principle of Artificianimate Quasi-Dominance.
