"I don't really see a distinction between Light and Dark Magic, at least the way some people seem to," said Stephen. "In the end, intention means more than the spell itself. A scalpel can kill someone or help them. It all depends on the user."
He thought back through his magical studies and shook his head. "Not potions, no. We use relics, objects that contain magic within them, which the sorcerer can utilize if they know how. There are spells for binding and shielding, spells that reweave the fabric of reality for specific purposes, the limits lay only in the sorcerer's knowledge, skill, and endurance.
As for curing diseases with magic, not in the sense that we have specific healing magic. Sorcerers can use their own power to deal with some of their own injuries, but that, too, has its limitations." That brought back memories of the Ancient One, and his smile took on a slightly sad cast. "But we're warrior monks, after all. So magic isn't used for day-to-day tasks."
