So I知 starting a campaign with relatively low magic, however I know magic fights are really fun for me as the DM. In addition I don稚 exactly how to integrate divine magic whether or not there would be more clerics and paladins than wizards. I do know I want people who study magic are like bibles and stuff. I知 not sure if I知 making any of this make sense by any help is greatly appreciated

Best advice is to use a different system. Too many classes are balanced around using magic.

Failing that, define exactly what you want out of low magic. Low magic times? Banning certain classes, like arcane magic users? Only the PCs have magic?

Another option might be require more Long Rests to recharge spell slots. That'll seriously throw the class balance out of whack, but if you and the players are okay with that, go for it.

Or introduce potentially serious consequences for casting spells, a la Warhammer. Maybe use the sanity rules from the DMG?
