Perhaps this is a relic of the past in some regard, but Electric and Sound magic's grouped category of Nature is incredibly confusing. When you think of Nature in fiction you generally think of the likes of plants, earth, and poison, none of which are actually part of the Nature magic category.
If sound and electricity are to remain together, then wouldn't it make more sense just to call it Thunder magic seeing as electricity and sound are the two primary features of a thunderstorm?

Nature in this means Lightning and Thunder-kind of supernatural occurrences. And comes from the line 'force of nature'. You'll get used to it.
But yes, you're right in one thing. Maybe not 'thunder' but what you said after could be a better relation.
"Storm"-element.

Things that you 'just have to get used to' are generally things that hamper the new player experience and should be avoided whenever possible, especially if it's something as simple as making sone text more intuitive.
Also Storm carries too much of connotation of wind and rain tbh.

I don't think it's ever caused confusion to be honest. Changing it, on the other hand, probably would confuse a lot of people.

How about Force?
Nature just doesn't make sense, especially considering Dryads are a race with their own racial stuff.
