Default Random Magic Paths - is it truly random?

Hi!

So...I'm in my first real game. I have played a bunch of test beds, and sims to get familiar with the combat system, and what to research when. I have been concentrating on Vanheim for now, and I have noticed that the random magic picks don't seem to be that random. Each game is different, though. In one testbed/game, I may be flush with earth3, blood1 and earth3, Death1 Drawfs, and never get Fire or Astral. In the next game, I don't get any Blood or Death, but get earth3, air1 and earth4. I'm talking about a fairly good sample, of 14+ dwarf mages. While it isn't a huge sample, IMO it shows a pattern of non randomness.

Above and beyond this, the Sages that I recruit seem to follow the same sort of nonrandom distribution that the Dwarfs share per game. Is this a known bug? or is it just me. :-)
