If your laptop is having issues running Hogwarts Legacy, it might be relevant to include your laptop specs as well as some more specifics on what you're looking for in a magic game.
Do you just want the magic system to be simple, or do you also want a simple, casual game? For example, Little Witch Nobeta has a simple magic system with a focus on magic combat, but it's a Souls-like, so it could be on the difficult side.
Thanks for reminding me about specs, I'll add them to the post. Though I assume that it's mostly on Hogwarts being unoptimised, because my laptop can play Cyberpunk2077 and X-4 foundations well enough. It's 8gb ram; Ryzen5 3550h so the processor is only 3 years old. I guess 4g VRAM isn't enough for the physics sim of MC's clothes (seriously why is it enabled even on lowest settings).
In a game I want decent magical combat. I want to have magical attacks that have varied effects and counters. Something that makes you think which spell to use and when. I guess the most important part for me is counters. So for example, if the enemy has a magical shield, you have to somehow deal with it first, you can't just spam click your best spell.
