Here's your cookie.  But, again, IN MY EXPERIENCE, these things don't work worth a damn in 5e.  The 5e ruleset is a terrible ruleset for games like this.  For low magic, you have to remove 3/4 of the classes, and about 3/4 of the monsters as well.  Which means, that, well, I might as well play another game, because what I've got left sure isn't D&D 5e anymore. So, getting upset at people for suggesting that you use a different system, when those people have TRIED AND FAILED to do what you are trying to do with 5e and then turning around and berating them for not being able to make 5e do these things is not exactly helping your argument.   It comes off as incredibly elitist and close minded.  "Oh, you can do anything with 5e!  You must never, EVER tell me not to use 5e to do something because 5e can do EVERYTHING and do it BETTER than ANY OTHER SYSTEM."And you wonder why you are getting push back?</blockquote>
