There's the classic Earthsea trilogy that fits that bill, if you haven't read it, you should. First boot is The Wizard of Earthsea.
Most LE Moddesitt Jr books follow that pattern.

I don't want to stir up a hornets nest, but with all the praise it's gotten in this thread, I'd just like to interject a pretty 'meh' feeling to the Song of Fire and Ice (although I do agree that the first book is brilliant).
