As Kane said, the trees are opposites. Their tomes pretty much have an equivalent to every spell.
Shadow Ball - Light Ball: literally the same spell.
Light shield - Dark shield: literally the same spell except light shield has a lower cd because reasons.
Both dark aoes - Both light aoes: literally same spells with either AP gain or DR gain.
Life drain - Mend: one takes HP from the opponent to heal, the other heals you and your allies. Take vs give. I like the opposite theme here.
Curse and that second shield holy has are kind of the only ones that diverge.
Valor's Light (I think it was Harmonic Attunement before) - Death Magic: are both exalted top tier auras that are essentially level 2 of their base auras.
Dark Guardian - Titan of Light: literally the same spell.
I think an equivalent to soul drain would be good. It's doesn't HAVE to be the same as soul drain or even have the same effects. But adding some cc to holy could be a good thing imo as it lacks any intermid spells.
Edit: I do kind of agree that if they had more differences, it'd be more interesting. But this does seem like a safe way to make one tree not feel overall superior to the other. They both have their benefits without diverging too much. Prevents people massively favouring one side.
