I resent how D&D and others turned Magic into Science, with numbers and formulas. Magic is magic, it doesn't need a reason or an explanation to work. Or not.

I can't think of any media that explores its magic at any level where that isn't true though, tbh.

The Last Unicorn.

The fact that magic is inherently uncontrollable and has a will of its own is central to the plot.

I need to watch that, I've heard good things but have never seen it.

I have the opposite take. I fucking love detailed hard magic systems.
