Trouble Evocation Episode 1 bursts onto the scene with a whimsical blend of comedy, chaos, and magical mayhem, introducing viewers to a world where spells gone wrong are just another part of everyday life. The story centers on Kotaro, a well-meaning but clumsy apprentice mage, whose attempts at mastering evocation magic always seem to result in unpredictable—and often hilarious—disasters.
The episode kicks off with Kotaro trying to summon a small familiar as part of his mage training. Instead, he accidentally conjures a mischievous and highly opinionated spirit named Lilia, who immediately wreaks havoc in his quiet hometown. From setting a market stall ablaze with an errant fire spell to turning a village council meeting into a comedic battleground of floating objects, Lilia’s antics make it clear she has no intention of returning to the spirit realm anytime soon. To make matters worse, Kotaro’s strict mentor, Master Alric, arrives just in time to witness the chaos, adding to Kotaro’s troubles.
