The following i always thought were interestingly thought out:

Dark Sun - Especially early 1st edition presented a D&D-type setting ravaged by misuse of magic.

Gamma World - Especially 4th and 7th editions, even though they present essentially different settings.

Dragonstar - Probably my favorite take on D&D + space travel

Classic World of Darkness - Especially Changeling and Mage

@AidanB @shannonmcmaster I keep meaning to work on a flexible universal magic system, like Mage: the Ascension, but attached to an overall simpler game system.

But along the way I get distracted by the D&D and OSR systems my friends seem into, and end up working on that instead.

Recurring themes for me are:
* Make high level spells available at low levels.
* Magic is either risky, costly, or weak.
