Yeah tomes feel randomly assigned sometimes. I think Ice is the one that people complain about the most though because...it just has zero connection to the rest of the tomes in that affinity.
Shadow Affinity is like 80% Necromancy, but you can just barely cobble together enough other stuff to do pure shadow as a path, or Eldritch Horror mixed with Shadow or Necromancy which fits well enough. Ice though is just two tomes representing an entire element with no endgame and no synergy with anything else in it's affinity.
like you want to roll Fire or Earth magic, no problem, more tomes than you can fit in easily. You want to focus on Spirit or Blight, also not an issue. Lightning Damage? Holy shit yes.
Ice/Water/Air magic OTOH, just barely there. 3 tomes total, no endgame, no synergy, no thematic build there at all. You have to immediately graft a second theme on that will inevitably completely overshadow your "main" theme just to play the game.
