Something just hit me about the Sorc class and Storm Calling

Why does Storm Calling exist? From the other 2 trees, you can clearly tell they practice black magic, so why Storm Calling? It seems random and inconsistent with the other 2 and we also have shock staffs so Storm Calling isnt unique in what element it is. I would have much rather seen something else like Blood Magic or something else to keep in the theme of Black Magic.

Because Lightning is the "element" most associated with the Arcane I suppose.

That is like saying dk"s should not have ardent flame. Lightning has often been the "purest" of destruction spells in tes. It is not that mages do not use fire or ice, but i think that was their theme choice.

Bear in mind, all four classes could see additional trees added later on (you only have so many skill points to spend, and a 5 slot bar, so it doesn't matter how much is available, its what you can afford and want to use). I could see them adding a blood magic or necromancy tree in the future.

I didn't bother with Stormcalling until lvl 25, and I started it only so I could gain access to one ability at higher levels. Otherwise, I agree, its totally inconsistent with the image they were creating with the other two sets. I think its there so people can play typical spellswords, basically. Build armor and weapon skills, and just take stormcalling for nuking.

I think all classes will get more lines as game advances... IMO.
