Good. You may want to be a bit more careful about your phrasing; not everyone has as open a mind as I do. Some of them can be downright nasty about the subject. [Why no, Eraqus, he's not talking about you; you can totally ignore the burning ears and sneezing fit.]

The main thing to remember is that 'black' magic has some really, really bad connotations to some people, so you may wanna be more specific in the future. Calling it something neutral, like elemental for example, is much less likely to get you odd looks or worse. [How much worse? Well, people used to get burned at the stake for practicing even healing magic where he's from...]

Sadly, no. I wish he was; he might not be able to make any more sense of this than I can, but at least I can rely on him if things go bad.
