So if I am role-playing with a dark cleric, I want to use negative energy spells for damage, positive ones for heal.
I don't want to use light spells because I am a dark cleric and I despise light with all my dark heart!
Since I am a dark cleric I also want to use Unholy Blight to deal unholy, evil damage.
So how can I make my evil spell damage better? I have to inrease LIGHT spellpower (!!!)
Why the hell must I, as a dark cleric, increase my light spellpower to deal hgher evil damage?
Conclusion of the story: binding all alignment spellpower to light (radiance) spellpower is WRONG
__________________________________________________ ________________
Fix for the priblem:
Instead of having all alignment spellpower on Radiance, distribute some alignment types to other spellpowers.
Nullification:
- bonus to Negative, Unholy and Evil Spell Power.
Devotion:
- bonus to Positive, Holy and Good Spell Power.
Radiance:
- bonus to Light, Lawful and Chaotic Spell Power.

Consequences:
Clerics that take dark path in Divine Disciple tree can now improve their damage with evil spells by taking negative spellpower in the tree.
Clerics that take light path in Divine Disciple tree no longer improve their damage with good or evil spells by taking light spellpower in the tree.
Healers now get bonus to good damage spells from devotion.
Warlocks that use Utterdark Blast now need Nullification item to raise the damage and can't raise both light damage from ES tree and utterdark blast damage with just one item (better balance).

Also, Favored Souls should get selector between light and negative spellpower in Angel of Vengeance tree so they can be fallen angels too.
