I have a big nasty cut on my Magsafe 2 Power Adapter 45W and I'm really worried it will hurt my MacBook Air. My friend says if I put electrical tape on it, It will shock my computer. Please tell me if theres a way to replace my charger, fix my charger or even prove my friend wrong!

You should buy a new power adapter from Apple.
Best.
Am I not able to use this cable then?
I wouldn't, your Mac is worth a lot more than a new charger costs. Take it to Apple, they may give you a new one, if not you'll be in the right place to buy a new one.

Look, it's your stuff, you can do whatever you want. I however would replace it.
order new cable from ebay and replace broken with it using youtube instruction
Avoid using non-sanctioned Apple electrical products. I believe there was an incident of an electrical fire last year. As I recall, this was a case of an iPhone charging with a non-sanctioned charger and/or cable.
As all but cabakroll have advised you, use only Apple gear to charge your Apple equipment.
OWC offers GENUINE Apple chargers at a modest discount.

Do not fool with the charger that you have. Replace it.
