I would like to ask you more about the information at some point, but I'll answer your question.
I'm skilled in three areas of magic - dark magic, illusion magic, and the use of staves and healing magic. The latter is my weakest, though it isn't a common skill for dark mages to possess. With the proper staff, I'm capable of healing allies or temporarily freezing an enemy, along with some other temporary weakening.
Dark magic - where I'm from, at least - is primarily offensive magic. The spells I can cast are based entirely on what tome I choose to use. Just consider it very powerful offensive magic and that's really all you need to know. There are some unique things one can do with dark magic, such as summoning Faceless or creating Stoneborn. They're basically just monsters capable of fighting with us, although Faceless are much harder to control. I'm capable of that as well, though it usually is too much effort to bother.
Finally, illusion magic. There aren't many capable of it in Nohr. Illusion magic can allow me to change what a person sees - for example, making it so that an ally appears as an enemy. I'm capable of fully controlling another person's mind, though such a thing is finicky at best and certainly not my preferred method. [on this route of the game, at least!!] Finally, I'm able to create illusions over great distances - though this is primarily something I use for communication.
Oh, and I am capable of warping, although that isn't directly tied to any school of magic.
[All of that is entirely truthful, he actually hasn't left anything out.]

[Not everything, then. Interesting...]
