I would mostly agree with everything, just with one nitpick:

> Life: “Something wrong? I’ll fix it”/Doom “Something wrong? That sucks” (healing vs compassion)

I think the actual division is something more like "Power vs Restraint" or "Power vs Sacrifice" or the slightly less poetic "Power vs Loss of Power." Life encompasses UNBOUNDED OPTIMISM and the power to affect reality applied IN ALL DIRECTIONS, whereas Doom restricts, channels, and stores up Life's energy (e.g. through rules, or individual restraint), and sometimes releases all of its power in a massive sacrifice.

(...it's kind of weird to be talking about classpect in the year of our lord 2019. It used to be one of the fandom things I cared most about, but now it's just one of many systems I like to use for cross-fandom analyses.)
