Vashti took a few moments to consider the question before raising her hand. "I think their boundaries do sort of blur or overlap with some spells, or at least they appear to," she began. "For example, the Patronus Charm. It's called a Charm, but when you use it, you conjure up a sort of white energy or magic that usually takes the form of an animal when fully formed. Conjuration is a branch of Transfiguration, so it could be argued that conjuring a Patronus is more of a Transfiguration spell than a charm."
