So, for shadow, the fantasy is someone who screws with your mind, and then dabbles into the void powers (again, heavily linked to the whole mind fuckery, see Old Gods) at the cost of their own sanity as well. And then there's devouring plague which doesn't connect with any of this in any way, and should be renamed to devouring despair or something like that to make sense.
For holy, I'd say the fantasy is pretty obvious, I'd say.
For discipline, it's about balancing the holy and the shadow, helping allies while hurting the enemies. The pragmatic way where they see that both light and shadow are useful, and anyway they are two sides of the same coin.
