I agree completely. My favorite idea is following non-magical characters as they cope with a magical world. Real, human ingenuity used for survival against a magical world is really interesting to me.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

This just reminded me of something I haven't thought of in a while. Spoilers for Codex Alera:

In the first few books of that series, the main character has no magic. He solves a lot of his problems through creative use of physics, engineering, and other people's powers. Later on in the series, he gets super-special magic that's better than almost everyone else in the series, and his solutions start to be more like "I throw magic power at it until it breaks." He can still be creative, but his tricks become a lot less intricate, and I found it really disappointing.

That sucks, OP. I can see why that would be frustrating.

Re: OP

That sounds like an interesting series.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

NA

so he went from being a good character.... to a Harry Dresden clone.

Oh dear, Jim Butcher... oh dear.

Re: OP

That's what I was thinking! Especially Harry early in the series, where he's powerful, but not skilled.

REC

[(Anonymous)]

Oh man have I got a rec for you guys! Try the Black Company series by Glen Cook! It's super awesome, imo. The main character is Croaker; an aging sawbones in a cutthroat mercenary company. There's a lot of normal dudes trying to cope with the fact that they live in a magic evil empire.
