"On the uses of what?" Skulduggery asked. His tone of voice put one in mind of an eyebrow being raised. "Light magic, healing magic, or magic in general?"

He was teasing a little. He tended to do that. In reality, Skulduggery appreciated a healthy dose of curiosity, particularly in someone who was probably a lot younger than he was - white hair aside. So, after a moment or two had gone by, Skulduggery shifted into a more comfortable position and put his hands on his knees. "For us, elemental magic is quite a bit more literal than that. Elementals, such as myself, can manipulate the four elements - earth, air, fire, and water. It's the quieter path of magic. The other path is called Adept magic, and it encompasses... well, everything else, including the healing magic I mentioned."
