Should Dark-Magic get frost magic instead of regular magic?

CurseDeReaper
I just wanted to ask what the communities opinion on Dark Magic skill line of the sorcerer is at the moment.
Personally i'm not as deep in making builds or competitive builds at all and I tend to follow guids and adjust them slightly or try to go for flavour. I fondered with newer skill lines having some abilities across elements and subclassing allowing us to mix and match, would it give any too mean / unfair advantages or even disadvantages if some abilities from Dark-Magic get some frost damage reworks since it may fit the crystal theme.
As far as I understand it lately the devs look into adjusting the skill line and I wondered how the suggestion of adding a light frost damage subtheme would make it more popular or gives a slight advantage to the line for subclassing and full sorce builds.

    If anything it should be shock dmg.
    Every class provide a unique element, sorc is shock, dk is fire, warden is frost.
    Then class after provide a mix, necro frost/shock and arcanist is an abomination
    Imagine a game with stackable maps, furniture bag, decon furniture

    It makes more sense than Warden from Morrowind with supervolcanoe having frost.

    I'm not sure you'd want to overhaul a base class skill line at this point like that.

    If you did overhaul it, you'd also have the question of if that's actually the most fitting direction.

    One could make the case that the Dark Magic line might actually fit better shifting to a Meridian line rather than a frost line.

    Meridia's true form—that of light and vibration—are represented best by the use of crystals in her followers' weapons, such as the three present in staves. As noted in an otherwise incoherent Meridian cultist's journal: "Light and vibration affect crystals, so carrying crystals into battle allows Meridia to bless our moves directly."

    Vibrant Shroud after all is: Call forth a Daedric shroud from the Colored Rooms to heal you and your allies and enfeeble foes in front of you.

    Visually, Daedric Refuge does not at all look like Dark Magic.

    Keep magic, it is not storm calling.

    Change to shock to promote synergy with storm calling, thus reinforcing pure class
