Are there any games that take inspiration from Ars Magica or that, in your opinion, scratch similar itches?

I've been considering how to run a campaign similar to the Commonweal series. After careful consideration, asking players to become familiar with the vibe of a world that you only get glimpses of through text closer to puzzle boxes than novels AND to learn the bookkeeping associated with Ars Magica seems like a lot.

Which is to say I'm very interested in where you land with this. Please do keep us updated.

Yeah but it’s similar to the Black Company and that’s like nerd cocaine.

Without diving too deeply into the manner in which I disagree with you, I should mention that the FitD system to emulate Black Company type stories is something I am aware of and not on my short list of systems which may be suitable.
