The title pretty much says it! I'd like to explore that idea a little and would love to hear y'all's recommendations. This thought was originally inspired by lord of the rings, but I'm also currently on a little nostalgia trip by reading The Sea of Trolls and the soft magic system in that is pretty fun

Maybe Robin Hobb’s Farseer trilogy? I feel like it fits the soft magic definition somewhat

"The Realm of the Elderlings" in general I'd say.
