Recommend me a novel where the MC is a magic researcher/scientist.

I'm looking for this semi-cliche story of a magical researcher/alchemist/mage working in a tower/academy/institution, learning more and growing in power through their understanding of magic.

Much like Battle Mage Farmer in the later books or Throne of the Magical Arcana in the later books.

Bonus points for OP Mc.

Thanks in advance
