In terms of your Esoteric Disguise, which I'd presume to be a pseudo-shapeshifting ability (as it only makes you look like someone/something else under a guise of your aura rather than changing your body directly, is a Conjuration ability and not a Transmutation one.

Reason being, if it's a Transmutation type, the ability does not function to normal people who hasn't be initiated in the aspect of Nen yet. Conjuration is the only category that could create items or involve manifestation that are otherwise, visible to normal humans and everything and anything alike (maybe Specialisation too but that's because anything that can't be straight-up categorised into the other 5 would be thrown into Specialisation).

.........................................

As for the Esoteric Mimic, Transmutation in HxH while able to replicate properties that are not necessarily real, it is never used to replicate something entirely abstract such as emotions. If you're looking at abilities that could fake your presence and pressure, you're probably looking at Manipulation.

.........................................

Certainly not bad abilities, such as the tentacles, it is indeed a very good use of Transmutation Nen. But you might want to double-check what category(s) some of your abilities falls under in Nen types.

Peace.
