[@Lucius Cypher] I don't know how else to describe low-magic beyond what I've detailed in the first post. Try this definition from Wikipedia. 

"[i]A soft magic system is vague and undefined with a mysterious list of rules and limitations that is never explained.[4] It creates a sense of awe and deepens the fantastical setting.[5] The focus of these types of stories is not usually on the magic itself and the main character usually isn't a magic user.[1] The main conflict is not solved by magic; instead, it's solved by valuable lessons the main character learns throughout the course of the story. Often when magic is used to solve a problem, it will actually make the problem worse. In these types of stories, the reader is never certain of the dangers and wonders that the characters will encounter and the characters themselves never truly know what can and can't happen"[/i]
