You can always use another magic system in your games, instead of vancian magic. I would recommend anything except spell points (I don’t get why people like it, it just turns your wizard player into an accountant). For instance, you can check out the system present in Lion & Dragon, The Invisible College or basically anything written by the RPGpundit (Outside of his “eccentric personality”, he is a real life wizard, so if there’s a designer that understand how magic, or more precisely magick, it would be him).
A perfect reason to avoid everything ever produced by said person, in my case. Lol
I happen to be a psionics fan, and not a fan of anything magic.
Is that a tvtrope I spot by any chance?
