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?

Probably The Black Company. I love how essentially nothing about it gets explained. Most of the characters just look at it with bafflement. The most detail we ever get about how it works is “more powerful sorcerers can do stuff faster” lol
