When you first get to the College of Winterhold Faralda asks why you want to enter. She gives you 3 options: essentially Destruction, Illusion, or Restoration.
It seems like no matter what you pick she wants you to cast a random spell, usually outside of the school of magic you chose, and you seemingly always get a destruction robe and learn ward as your first spell (outside of the test).
So my question is: What does the choice of Destruction, Illusion, or Restoration do for you? I chose each one and other than dialogue I haven't seen any differences. I haven't gone very far down that questline so maybe it's something that happens later?
