Right. [He nods.] I've heard of cantrips before. They're a thing in like video games and stuff where I'm from. [He absolutely played Dungeons and Dragons in college.]
And a focus is, what, something that helps you channel magic? Like a wand or something? [He's guessing, but it's a confident guess. 'Focus' is pretty straightforward.]
Does Shocking Grasp work on stuff that isn't, uh, other people? [Can he charge his phone with it???]
[But he lights up at that phone thing. Yep, this is exactly what he's here for.]
That's awesome. Man, that's gonna be so useful... What kind of advanced spells are there? The kind of things I'd need a focus for. [Captain Gets Ahead of Himself strikes again, but he's hype about research, okay?] What spells do you use most often?
[She holds up the cheap little bff necklace around her neck. Don't make fun of it, Newt.]
Uh... I use a lot of lightning and fire spells. Like, offensively, I mean. But there are also spells that like, lock doors, or fuck with electronics, or let you teleport. I use that one a lot. And Shocking Grasp to charge my phone or whatever.
That thing? Really? Guess it really can be anything.
[Offensive magic sounds so flippin' cool, though... Not that he has much reason to fight things, but it'd still be cool to know, probably. It'd be neato party trick if nothing else. But, yeah, some of that other stuff sounds way more useful.]
Honestly, all of that sounds pretty awesome. So, uh, start with Shocking Grasp I guess? Electricity at my fingertips would be nifty as hell.

[Which would be lame.]
I charge my phone with Shocking Grasp all the time.
