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.

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.
