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.

Off to Be the Wizard!

Magic isn't real per se, but a few techies figure out how to manipulate reality and pretend to be wizards using lights and special effects to make warping reality SEEM like typical magic.
