Good points. Still disagree though.

Conjured entities still require aura to be brought into existence. Just because Hisoka is surrounding an object with his aura doesn't mean it remains as Aura; he may simply be surrounding it in aura before his aura into a physical object. Moreover, he is using conjuration to change the appearance of a non-conjured entity, meaning the only way he could do so in the first place would be to surround said object in his aura first and then materialise it onto the medium.

I agree; I was initially confused as to the meaning of the word.

That point is irrelevant; both Hisoka and his former master would still have an 80% proficiency over conjuration, so it is not at all far-fetched that the hatsu involves conjuration.

What are you on about? No Transmuter has ever changed the colour of water divination, with the only two cases seen changing its taste, not its colour or texture, which makes sense since aura is invisible. There is also no discernable reason as to why emitted Nen would change the colour of water in Water Divination, and since it is found in Emission Water Divination is the only example where changes to colour are found, there is no reason to suggest that the phenomenon involved Transmutation or Conjuration.

Morel is not a bad example in the slightest, he's a perfect example. A Manipulator with only a 40% proficiency in Transmutation was able to mimic Hisoka's Hatsu to an even greater degree than the latter, changing the appearance of dozens of smoke puppets at once. While there is still no conclusive evidence that this was done with Transmuted Aura rather than Conjured entities, since only Nen users saw Morels Smoke Puppets, it would still make more sense for a Manipulator to employ a Conjuration technique, which he has a 60% proficiency in, rather than Transmutation, the polar opposite of his Nen Type.

What? If Bisky has changed her appearance using transmuted Nen, that doesn't mean that her body would become invisible, it means that her Aura is invisible, as is the case for every Nen user. And if you're suggesting that she does this using her Hatsu (which is fairly plausible), that doesn't mean that she is using her aura to deceive others into looking younger than she actually is. It is entirely plausible to assume that her Aura is having actual physical effects on her body, resulting in her skin/body being healthier and her actually looking younger, not applying a technique similar to Hisoka in order to trick people. The two techniques are entirely different.

No, but texture doesn't mean colour, and in the case of Hisoka changing his fortune, for instance, he didn't change the texture in the slightest but changes the writing instead; such a thing should have no effect whatsoever on the texture of the page. Plus, if Hisoka simply changed the texture of his Bungee Gum after his battle with Chrollo, he would still look like a faceless one-legged freak to anyone he walked past in the street, since changing the texture of Aura, in particular, would still make it invisible to non-Nen users.

I have no counter to that; it's a good point, but still not decisive.

Completely and utterly irrelevant. Shizuku isn't just trying to change the appearance of something so that it appears like Demi-Chan, she is creating a Vacume that can suck up things infinitely. Hisoka simply wants to change the appearance of a real object in order to deceive people, which doesn't require a new object to be formed. He didn't want to conjure a new fortune and get rid of the old one, he wanted to change the appearance of the original. This also means that he wouldn't need to spend long periods of time obsessing over a physical object, as the technique only focuses on appearance rather than.
