I'm interested in joining. 

But first, how rare exactly is magic in this world? Are there monsters? Is it like where only a small handful of people in the world know magic?

From the OP:

The setting is low-fantasy: there is magic, but it is hard to define and even harder to master. Practitioners are few and far in-between, but many have found employment in the courts of kings. However, wizards are also usually the first to bear the brunt of the Ambrusians' wrath when the purge swells. It is a discrete and indirect art - a wizard searching for a wind to manipulate a ship out of a lull looks no different than a devout man at prayer, to the average man. There are also no elves, no dwarves - humanity is supreme, much as in the real world, but there may be fantastical beasts and animals that dwell here.

Think something like the Witcher with less monsters and LOTR-esque magic. Only a few have the knack for it and it is almost beyond comprehension to your average person; yet it is a real and powerful thing.
