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.
A Practical Guide to Summoning Mild Inconveniences appeals to:
- Fantasy readers who enjoy lighthearted, imaginative storytelling
- Fans of parody manuals and fictional guidebooks
- Tabletop RPG players looking for inspiration or world-building flavor
- Readers who appreciate illustrated humor and magical absurdity
- Gift-givers seeking a quirky, conversation-starting book
With its blend of creativity, humor, and immersive design, this guidebook invites readers to explore a world where magic is real, paperwork is eternal, and the greatest danger is a pebble mysteriously appearing in your boot.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
