Draconic Power damage types

As many others have brought up, Elder Scrolls dragons aren't all tied to fire. We have examples of dragons using all of them, and it stinks to limit the dragon fantasy to 12.5% of the available options. Ideally, players could pick the damage type. The easiest way to do that is to just add a UI element in the skill page, but if that's absolutely not an option, I have an idea to facilitate that.

"While holding block and a Draconic Power ability for at least 1 second, you begin to meditate on Words of Power. Each second you hold those buttons, you cycle between different Words, which change the damage type of all your Draconic Power skills. The Words cycle in the following order;
Yol - flame
Fo - frost
Sov - shock
Lah - magic
??? - poison
Kras - disease
Sos - bleed
??? - physical"

My idea is that, while meditating, the Word in Dragon script appears over your character's head, and you can hear the Word being spoken in a cool dragon voice.

    How about more simply rework subclassing to more or less be how we chose our damage type and perhaps as I mentioned somewhere else a custom made skill line consisting of one ult from the chosen subclass 5 active skills and 4 passives chosen from the picked subclass
