This reads more like an anime recommendation list. Some of the reasoning given for these magic systems (because come on. That's what this list really is.) Don't really argue what about them makes them "the best".

If you really want to recommend a magic system, "Akashic Record of Bastard Magic Instructor", in my opinion, has the best magic system I've seen in years. Spells work like syntaxes and the mana it runs on was programmed by whatever god created that world. If you call the spell wrong in any way a syntax error occurs and the spell changes in a predictable way. And if you want, you can just skip all that hard stuff and just change the spell into a macro to achieve the same affect.

I know it's a lot of computer lingo but that's honestly the easiest way to understand how it works. A lot of this is explained in the first two episodes and I highly recommend it.
