Looking for alternatives for the wizard game (beehaw.org)

Recently I wanted to play a magical combat game and Hogwarts legacy seemed to be mostly what I was looking for so I ethically acquired a copy. Unfortunately even with DRM removed it runs very poorly on my laptop.

Looking through steam games tagged magic, I didn't manage to find something similar. Most of the games I saw were either top-down/side-scroll (I'm looking for FPS/TPS) or had magic systems simpler than in Skyrim (I want magical combat to be the main focus).

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I've played Bioshock 3 a long time ago and while fun, it isn't what I'm looking for in terms of magic. I've heard 1 and 2 are a bit more deep in this regard but afaik it's still mainly a shooter. I'm currently playing Dishonored 2 and Bioshock seems more similar to that than to Hogwarts.

Control was something I've wanted to play for a while, mostly because of SCP-inspired story, I didn't know anything about it's gameplay. Will 100% check it out.

Currently Noita is my magic game and Hogwarts was in part attempt for variety. I've seen Magicka on steam and I dunno why, but it didn't click for me.

Anyway, thank you very much for the recommendations!
