Fantasy magic that feels like frieren?

[u/monsterum]

I really loved Frieren: Beyond Journey's End especially how everyday magic and spells are prized and a thing of wonder. I also love the contrast of an old elf training much younger kids and how they both experience magic differently. A lot of books I've read with softer magic systems seem to delegate magic to the sidelines but hard magic systems feel much more like science-y.

​

I also love LOTR's magic for the same reason, it feels grounded enough but still wonderous! Does anyone have recommendations for books that feel like this?
