how does sponsered magic work

[Blk4ce]

Since we don't have enough information about the Outer Gates, I don't assume anything yet. They might as well be only a faction of Outsiders who were exiled from their dimension and now want to go into ours. An equal possibilty is that they operate like locusts, exhausting the resources of every dimension they encounter.

Aren't the Outsider pure evil though? I mean,

Summer and Winter team up to keep these guys out

They are asymetrical, foreign, and Organized.  Thats about all we know so far.  I think it was said that they once ruled here and want it back, but I cant recall where to know how reliable a source that was.

Summer and Winter doesn't really team up to fight the outsiders. Winter has a massive number of troops to fight the outsiders and Summer exists to protect the normal world in case Winter decides to try and rule everything. IIRC from Cold Days, Mother Summer was the only Summer Court fey at the Outer Gates when she took Harry there.

Not precisly.  The medics were Summer.

The fire reference explains what it does if you don't have Evocation also.

The fire reference is if you use Soulfire as the element instead of another traditional one. Someone who has Evocation could do that too,  but they are more likely to use whatever element that are already skilled in rather than just raw Soulfire.
