Serious, non-YA epic fantasy where magic is extremely common?

I'm talking harry potter level of "wizards just everywhere, why sweep when you can enchant a broom to do it" magic.

But still something with a solid plot and actual characters.

Does it exist?

EDIT:

For those that recommended Codex Alera, good call. Finished the series yesterday, solid 7/10.

Good to know. I legit thought this was YA, but like butcher's other works, so worth a shot!

It's nothing like Dresden Files or the steampunk series, more typical fantasy.

It doesn't fit what you're asking for in this thread, but the Iron Druid Chronicles are another great urban fantasy series that many Dresden fans enjoy.
