    So book series with a intricate or just well used magic system like harry potter, a magic system where if they use words the mc can learn the language itself and make the magic do what he wants or just able to intuitively know how to use/move control magic and you create your own spells and things like i can't really remember the series all that well atm for instance "the horned ones only disciple" series or the seven realms even tho they don't discribe it that well you can tell it's a very versitile and flexible magic system, i'm currently reading the avondale series but the magic system so far isn't all that great or maybe it's the mc that can't figure it out and making it seem that way

    pleasse and thank you :)

    That, please! Thank you! (≧◡≦) It's hard to read.
    As for that kind of magic, I think Kenja no Mago / Magi's Grandson is one of them. Not really sure. I just remembered that the MC can improve the magic with his creative and solid imagination.

    The same recommendation to you^ (one of the MC's in later stories gets so good at magic that he combines computer programming and magic language to make Ai, the case being many books and the focus of the books is not always the same MC, just the world and a bit on his family)

    The Weavespinner Stories have a rather interesting magic/mystical system, both with different disciplines in magic, each with different rules, and gods that are bending the rules if it suits their purpose
    And guess what? The Mc is smack-dab in the middle of it :p

    Also, the Daniel Black novels on kindle unlimited, instinct sorcery at its finest

    I think that the Eragon four books may be what you want.

    Mother of Learning has a pretty cool magic system as well, especially with many non-combat spells. There's also a whole lot of magic variety, including wards, necromancy, space magic, unstructured magic, etc.

    If we are talking actual books, then the Spellwright series is amazing.
    It's a world where magic is written with the muscles inside their bodies then cast. The main character is Dyslexic, chaos insues

    Magi's Grandson isn't really intricate as for versatile.....

    If the author can bullshit his way into making a kamehameha, he'd do it.

    Actually, unless the 'i" starts a sentence, capitalizing it just because it represents the self is a mistake. Keep the "i" in the middle of a sentence small.

    Hmm....on second thought, you're right. Hehehe! He can just make something out of nothing after all. Okay, not really that versatile as it is just.....a lazy story writing? I think? Not really sure.
    Oh, I remember this one. I think this is the more intricate one. If making formula and such in each magic spell can be seen as that. Yea, it is too difficult to understand sometime for me.
