Lore wise this is a bit on an artifact from 1.0. Affinity was mentioned as being tied to which of the 12 you had as patron. I think some NPCs even mentioned that or at alluded to it. It was reflected mechanically in the elemental stat bits before allocation. We can see some of the last bits of this when we choose a patron now. Also, back then CNJ had access to all the elemental magic, and there were some people that said if you had say, wind affinity from Oschon, your Aero spells were better. True or not? Dunno. Those times have long sense passed.
Totally a thing though, and a fun bit to RP. Opened up lots of questions and hooks like "Why do you have an affinity for Fire if your patron is Oschon. *engage head scratch and pondering.*" Neat little character defining tidbits should always be encourage. Yar.
