Suggestions for books about mages? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi!

I'm looking for books about mages, wizards and witches in which the magic itself is a central part of the story and not just there so the MC can slam a fireball into the face of his foes.
Maybe the magic has a will of its own or the MC is trying to 'restore' it from some kind of 'disease' or something else.

Maybe mother of learning could fit. Atleast it has more interesting magic than just fireballs xD

Didn't get that deep into malazan yet but its magic system with warrens also seemed interesting

Malazan is a great choice it's just such a huge series with so much else going on besides the magic system I was reluctant to suggest it. Really really worth the effort though.
