Books Where Magic is Siphoned From Others
I just finished 'Rose in Chains' and loved the resurgence of an old magical power struggle where one group can siphon the magic from another. These recs tend to be darker and more mature, so do your due diligence before reading. Yes, you can recommend books to add to this list.

New rec! Terror at the Gates - although the high society family are descendants of of the gods and called Elohim, only the women are born with magic. They are forbidden from using it unless commanded by their patriarch and many husbands marry with the intent to siphon their wives magic directly.
This list seems very interesting to me! I found my next readings!
I feel an itch in the back of my brain that I'm missing one.... đ€
New rec! IRON WIDOW uses the chi of two humans to power these war machines. But the male pilot is given dominion over the female pilot and is really just siphoning her chi to power his decisions.
