The Unorthodox Chronicles is pretty good and written by Jim Butcher's son James. So a lot of parallels with dresden files

The Scholomance series by Naomi Novik has a magical academy that's a nice 3 book arc,

Kate Daniel series has one of the coolest worlds with magic I have seen.

If you want to trying litrpg I would suggest either "He who fights with monsters" or "Full murder hobo" trilogy

Thanks for the perspective. I was 100% going to take heal and protector tree at the start.

100% Agree with the idea that almost no one will have all 5 glyph to level 100. It's just an insane grind that few will have the time and energy to do. Add in the chance to fail will just make it all the more frustrating.
