Terry Pratchett's Discworld approaches magic as a fundamental force akin to gravity or nuclear force. It even has a unit of measurement (the Thaum, further broken down into millithaums, etc)

There are a whole host of reasons you should read Discworld but this just adds another.

I've been meaning to get into the Discworld series, just haven't gotten around to it. Thanks for the suggestion!
