Well, she bewitched the King, didn't she? Why else would he hand over command of his armies to a teenage girl? And didn't she claim to hear voices telling her what to do? Plainly, her familiars. Nevertheless, Joan was condemned, in the end, not for witchcraft but for heresy. Which is to say, that she chose to obey her voices rather than the Church. Of this, she was plainly guilty; which is why, although her condemnation was rescinded soon after her death, her canonisation took another 500 years.
