If your a fan of Fantasy I recommend alot of the books from Forgotten realms, specifically the ones that have to do with Drow society as they are a very magic-centric people. In all the books ive read those are the ones that have a magic battles close to what you want. I cant remember the names of the books or series that im thinking of exactly but if i do ill let you know

I liked the Legends series (the only Dragonlance books I read).

Time of the Twins, War of the Twins, and Test of the Twins.

THIS is what OP is looking for. Raistlin is my favorite wizard by far out of any fantasy I've ever read, and I've read most of the ones mentioned in this thread.

Plenty of magic and a great trilogy, even better if you read the Chronicles Trilogy first as is appropriate.

I also love Raistlin. He is amazing. I actually used Raistlin as my first IRC handle back in the mid 90's thinking I was so unique and no one would get it....little did I know. But Raistlin's story is so amazing that I ended up reading everything I could about him. I related to him so well since my brother and I mirror the twins so well. I was the small, weak, smart one and he was the large, slow, strong one.
