Starting at 6th level, you gain a benefit whenever you cast one of the spells granted by your Mark of the Ordning Feature.
Does this mean you get the effect based off of the Ordning spell that you chose, or does it mean you choose one of the effects, and they're just themed for the different giants?
It never says anything about matching the choice made earlier, so I don't see how the way it is written could exclude choosing different effects.
Mark of the Ordning At 1st level, you discover innate magical abilities within yourself that are based on your giant heritage. Select one of the giant types from the Mark of the Ordning table. At 1st and 3rd level, you learn the spells associated with your choice, as shown in the table. These spells count as sorcerer spells for you, but they don’t count against your number of sorcerer spells known.
You choose your Mark of Ordning at 1st level. That choice gives you certain extra spells.
Starting at 6th level, whenever you cast one of those spells, your Soul of Lost Ostoria feature grants you a benefit based off of the Mark you chose at 1st level.
In other words, whatever type of giant you picked to be your ancestor at 1st level, you gain extra benefits from the same type of giant:
If you picked Cloud Giant at 1st level, then starting at 6th level, whenever you cast Fog Cloud, Minor Illusion, or Invisibility then the Cloud Giant Ostoria kicks in and the following happens:
Cloud Giant. Immediately after you cast any of your Mark of the Ordning spells, you can magically teleport as a bonus action. You teleport to an unoccupied space you can see that is no farther away than a number of feet equal to 10 + your Constitution modifier.
If you picked Fire Giant at 1st level, then starting at 6th level, whenever you cast Burning Hands, Fire Bolt, or Flaming Sphere then the Fire Giant Ostoria kicks in and the following happens:
Fire Giant. You gain a bonus to the damage rolls of your Mark of the Ordning spells. The bonus equals your Constitution modifier (minimum of +1).
