Does anyone know of any good magitech series that go into detail about how magic works and how it's used? I've always found the engineering aspect of magitech really interesting, and having a flexible magic system is cool. An example of the kinda thing I'm looking for is Eragon. Eragon never got into magitech, but the magic system was fairly well explained, enough so that I was disappointed when magitech was never established as a thing.

Terry Pratchett's Discworld approaches magic as a fundamental force akin to gravity or nuclear force. It even has a unit of measurement (the Thaum, further broken down into millithaums, etc)

There are a whole host of reasons you should read Discworld but this just adds another.

I've been meaning to get into the Discworld series, just haven't gotten around to it. Thanks for the suggestion!
