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 Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrel? Or any of the Earthsea books by Ursula K. Le Guin.
Interesting! I put that on my bucket list. Thank you for your suggestion! :)
