What is the difference between getting a light set and having rootwork performed on your behalf?
Setting lights is considered one form of rootwork. It is one of the simpler acts on its own, but can be used in a larger conjure. Setting lights employs the steady power of a candle that burns over a course of several days to bring power, heat, and light to a situation in order to effect change. This steady flow of spiritual power is often enough to change a great deal of situation or influence them. Setting lights are a great way of manifesting your desires, bringing some heat to a situation, backing up your own spellwork, or just getting a simple spell cast on your behalf. Having rootwork performed on your behalf may include having various lights set, but also refers to the act of having a conjure doctor perform a spell on your behalf–one that is tailored specifically to your condition. These can be more elaborate then a simple candle, but may include that candle in a larger spiritual act.
