A Practical Guide to Summoning Mild Inconveniences - Amy N Kaplan

A Practical Guide to Summoning Mild Inconveniences is a humorous, fully illustrated fantasy handbook that explores the lighter side of magic-where the goal isn't world‑ending power, but small, everyday annoyances. Designed as an "official" manual from the Department of Questionable Magic, this book blends whimsical world‑building, arcane bureaucracy, and tongue‑in‑cheek instructions into a playful reading experience.

Inside these pages, readers will discover over seventy rituals for summoning minor magical disturbances, including the Itchy Sock Hex, the Slightly Damp Seat, the Misplaced Keys Phenomenon, and the ever‑popular Mild Breeze of Distraction. Each ritual is presented with mock‑serious warnings, scribbled annotations, and bureaucratic stamps from fictional arcane departments, creating the feel of a long‑lost magical field guide that has passed through too many hands.

Perfect for fans of fantasy humor, parody guidebooks, magical world‑building, and illustrated nonsense, this book offers a unique blend of creativity and comedy. Readers will enjoy the richly textured pages, chaotic marginalia, and the immersive "found document" style that brings the magical bureaucracy to life.
