Oh, there are a lot! I'm not much of a scholar, so I don't know all the details, but... there's light magic and fire magic, I use both of those, kind of. And... darkness? And ice magic. That one's the worst, if you ask me...
[ its so COLD ]
It's mostly just whatever the monsters and demihumans have used that human beings learned how to adapt to. Or how to practice, I guess? I don't really know how it works.
That's good... [ like, really, because orsterra SUCKS it sucks so bad. ] The less dangerous the better! A lucky thing to have. What would you use light magic for, do you think?
Heh, it's pretty useful when you have to get up to head for the latrines in the middle of the night. Oh - though, don't tell anyone you do that, you might get scolded for it.
[ but sometimes you need a flashlight and summoning up the holy fire in your hand as one of two (2) people on the continent who can do this is the best kind of ye olde flashlight you have ]
Mmm, no, there's the kind that can - you know. [ he mimes like. making an explosion with his hand, complete with a "pshooo" noise. ] And there's... other kinds, I guess...? I don't know, I just used it with my sword until I started being able to summon the Flame.
People use magic for every day stuff, sometimes, just not the Sacred Flame... even though I think it's probably fine if you use it to roast food once in a while.

Not generally. It's not like we've achieved world peace or anything, but—you know.
