i do wonder if we will ever get some sort of complete tome lines for some concepts in the dlc, by complete i mean t1 to 14 tomes (not sure if devs will change their mind on t5 tomes)
for example(since i like dragons i will give an example of the dragon one) dragon tomes seems to be nature chaos so they are missing the t2 and t4, which could be with t2 having a t3 racial battle mage unit and t 4 maybe having draconic spectral wings as a minor transformation that give fly plus some buildings like the wyvern nest but for t5 dragons and some enchantments that helps dragon tag units

with that said there are lots of concepts introduced on dlc as well as some missing ones in the base games(full ice elemental one ;P), i mean it would be nice to have the corruption line with t2 and t4 tomes maybe t4 tome will have some building upgrade to get all umbra demon units plus a t5 unit, or the purifying flame, or others to be expanded on to be a line of t1 to t4

T5s should remain to be generalist affinity expression tomes. Mass effects, mass buffs, the cream of the crop affinity representation. Every affinity should have at least 3 themes too.

Would be great if we will get more thematic tome lines be it Umbral, Ice, Shadow, Fey, etc.

With dragons it is a bit strange 'cause Prosperity tome is for all intents and purposes a dragon tome (all creatures that it gives have a dragon tag), but it is Order/Nature. So dragon tome line is T1, T3, T4, but it is not same affinity.
Also give me a nature or fey dragon already, c'mon Triumph!

i would say i prefer the dual affinity t5 tomes since that would mean someone delved in the past into a magic path leading to that and will not cause problems with differentiation for example what i consider the dragon theme is more a rebirth/creation and destruction which would be difficult to divide if it is a chaos t5 or a nature t5 if we go by the dragon nature with buffs to it, in short i see it dual as a easier way to categorize but i do agree with you about having different paths to t5 if not dual affinity because just with shadow it should have at least 3, death path(currently we have that one but think it should have a buff like astral for magic origin but instead death), ice path(maybe ice emperor tome or aboslute zero tome causing ice age), and was is ugrath(i am bad with names but the one who is the creator of umbra demons with umbra demons buffs and magic)

maybe because i am more into easter concepts that although prosperity has dragon themed creature i dont see it as a dragon tome, dragons from what i remember from eastern are prosperous beings that brings good fortune and by that harvest, sort of a balance in nature for it so to me a line about prosperity would be something that creates some sort of eden as well as give you more food yield and protection from evil, i mean it is interesting that in west dragons are mostly evil and in east are more like deities or concepts of nature

in contrast what i see mention as dragon themed in this game seems to be related to destruction and creation

I would like to see dual if not rainbow t5 tomes as well, focusing one one or multiple themes available for those fusions.

yeah as someone said i dont think we will see full lines but i would love to have them even if it is dlc just full of like 8 tomes or more XD

also the themes that have been displayed not only cover wildlife tag like the dragon theme i mentioned or umbra demon

but like purifying flame it can be a theme full on only minor transformations and enchantments related to holy flame or maybe have a major transformation similar to primal dragon that does not change tag but that gives buff comparable to a major transformation buffs plus tag like call it super soldier or maybe that is the archon transformation ??
