@juergen_hubert@mementomori.social Did similar thinking for my novel writing. The problem with RPG in this setting is that most of these stories aren't mysteries to be solved -- they're warnings or instructions, information passed from generation to generation. In some cases, social control.
A historic setting where all magic can be true if you're skilled enough or believe enough, can be a very exciting place. But it's people who drive the story -- the magic is window dressing still.

I've come to the conclusion that many of these folk tales were told for entertainment purposes first and foremost.
And there are plenty of mysteries in these tales which are never explained - which opens up a lot of RPG opportunities in my view.
