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.

The Mage Errant series by John Bierce might be of interest to you. Magic and how it works is very much at the centre of this series. There's some really imaginative world building too!
