You're looking for deep and measured significance where it doesn't exist. I eyeballed this stuff. Kromm then passed it, so either he's happy with that approach, or I have supernaturally good eyeballs.
(And believe me, only one of my eyeballs is even mediocre.)

You're looking at this the wrong way round. I put spells on those lists because I thought that they more or less fitted the clerics in question's theme,
then went over them asking myself "Is this list sufficiently adequately useful for a Dungeon Fantasy character?" and tweaked things accordingly.
I didn't excise stuff that was appropriate but largely useless, because I care about flavour and style much, much more than I give a wet slap about pointless numerical symmetry. The only real "balancing" effect that I had in mind was the realisation that clerics who got to chuck fire or lightning around would be a bit too popular with the munchkins and would intrude on the wizards' niche protection, so I cut back on their classic heals-and-buffs resources, with the general intent of making them less useful as "classic clerics".

If you're asking about copyright concerns, that's a question for SJGames, not for me. I just do work for hire.
