'conjured up' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a dove fluttering round the lakeside' is the wordplay.
'fluttering' indicates anagramming the letters.
'round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the lakeside' becomes 'ke' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'dove' is an anagram of 'evod'.
'evod' going around 'ke' is 'EVOKED'.

Can you help me to learn more?
