The Wheel of Time is an amazing peace of work that inspired many people and has a massive worldbuilding arc. The magic system is definitely going to expand for you in the next books, when it gets expanded for the characters themselves
As many have pointed out, it does get to feel like a chore to get through books 7-10, but Jordan picked it up at book 11. Personally I think he just overstreched it, it should have been 10 books total.
Then comes in Brandon, books 12-14... - jaw gets dropped -
The magic system gets, obviously with Brandon, expanded even more The story comes to a satisfying end which Brandon did great and Jordan would have been proud of.
My advise for the long boring stretches....
