I really liked NK Jemisin's Broken Earth series and how much went into make moving earth a function of the world.

    What I like is that while they seem to be different magic systems in his Cosmere meta-series, they are in fact the same and based on the same physical principles. So with a bit of knowledge you can combine them for weird effects.

    So one character in Stormlight is running around looking like they're using a Radiant power when it's something completely different. Another is hacking the area's relative surplus of magic to avoid some complications caused by his homeworld's.
