Let me get you a video describing how the game system I'm crossing over into the RWBY setting is described as the torture porn of turn-based strategy.

It basically fuckin is. Not gonna lie
>magic is widespread?
Not at all in Remnant. That's a thing to get started again long after the events of the story finish.
One thing to set apart elemental from Remnant magic is that Ozpin and Salem are actually able to create new spells. MC is locked into a growing but inflexible capability for very specific effects, scaled down or up as needed.
For starters, Ozpin made the Vaults to go with the Maidens. Something like that isn't possible for a HoMM3 caster. Summon a bunch of elementals to no-sell one of the biggest strengths of Grimm? Sure thing. Town Portal plus Dimension Door to turn yourself into the turn-based strategy version of an ICBM? Doable!
Granting other people the ability to metamorph into animal forms? Lol, LMAO even.
>the Maiden's having a meaning in RWBY was due to them being the only ones on Remnant with Magic
That's the funny thing, and something I'm emphasizing. It is earth-shatteringly important that Salem/Ozma and the HoMM3 magic *do not work the same way.*
And more importantly, this won't be realized by them.
The two ancients may have hunches and could make educated guesses about it, given that they themselves don't fully remember their first lives. The MC will make the mistake of not thinking on the matter, past believing his own supposing that Salem/Ozma got the domestic/private/civilian version of magic, while the MC got the explicitly military version of things.
The biggest telling sign of it is that HoMM3 magic, literally, applies to entire stacks of units on a map. The spells are purpose designed to be used to army-scale applications. Imagine forcing Grimm to frenzy and attack the nearest target, which would be other Grimm. Imagine making a whole army fly, or walk on water, and it being doable as long as you finish the day on a normal land tile.
... all that, and I didn't actually address the point. Fuck.
