I hate characters that have magic that is too strong, well, hate is a strong word, i just prefer characters to have more weakness, magically anyway. A classic example is David Eddings. The magic employed in the Belgariad and Mallorian series' by the disciples (i.e. Belgarath) doesn't seem to have that many limitations, its just the Will and the Word, and though these books were awesome, all-powerful characters are not. The best form of magic in a fantasy book (that i have read obviously) is in Robin Hobb's trilogies The Farseer and The Tawny Man. In these there are two types of magic, the Skill and the Wit, both are very simplistic, both have been stunted or corrupted over time. The Skill is possessed only by those of the royal line and involves being able to speak telepathically with others and affect minds over long distances, the Wit is considered a 'dirty' magic and means the user can bond completely with an animal, and communicate with others to some extent, i wont go into any more details, i don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't read them! There is so much more to it than that, but there are twists and turns in these stories that are so masterfully woven i am not worthy to speak of them!
Anyway, that's my opinion!
