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.

Check out Raymond E. Feist's books called Magician: Apprentice and Magician:Master. It introduces the character of Pug who reappears throughout dozens of other books by Feist.
