What does it mean, in practical terms, to have air magic behind your wingsweeps? Simply more damage or is there some added affect or specific usage?

Re: the geyser edges:
Think of these as extra damage you get if you're geysering someone who isn't protected from fire/ice, as appropriate. It's a significant boost in damage; that being said, it's probably not enough damage to make casting geyser a good idea in a situation where it wouldn't normally be a good idea. It's more on the scale of making casting geyser an even better idea in the situations in which it's already a good idea.

Taking these edges will *never* gimp the original form of the spell?
Let's say I'm an Outlander Invoker and take Scalding Geyser. My Geyer's were previously hitting at 100% efficiency(Let's just assume spellcraft never failed on any cast), I now take Scalding Geyser. Now if I geyser someone that has no protection to fire whatsoever, but is not vuln to it, is it hitting for greater than 100% of the original damage because it has an added fire element of damage they aren't protected against?
If so, now when I hit an unprotected felar is it the original amount of damage + another % + vuln? Say 100+10+10=120% just for the sake of numbers being thrown around to make sense?
Conversely, what if I take Scalding geyser and have to fight a fire giant, and want to use the spell. Will he just be immune to the fire part and I'll be hitting as hard of geysers as if I never took the edge?

Correct. At worst they're useless.

Correct. You get some extra damage.

If you're throwing scalding geyser against someone with an uncovered fire vuln, you get extra damage on top of the usual extra damage for the edge. Similar idea with chilling geyser and a cold vuln.

Exactly. You don't get the bonus "heat" damage but you still do full normal geyser damage.
