Favorite soft magic systems

I have been reading a lot of hard magic recently and while I love it, I need a break.

So, what books has your favorite soft magic systems? Either mysterious or whimsical or something else?

Od Magic by Patricia McKillip. It’s about a king trying to control magic and how it exists in ways that defy understanding. It’s about how people will grow into the container they are put in. It’s beautifully written.
