As a further clarification - we can still "close" things that are not
product identity, correct?
We are writing a CRPG, and we are interested in using the game mechanics
of the D20 SRD. We would need to create a new magic system, which we
would like to release as open game content. However, nothing else would
be open game content (Including: character creation, levelling up, etc).
Is this still a correct use? (Note: we will not use the D20 logo).

Yes.
