Default Death & Blood a little borked?

These two paths SEEM to have some of the best summons in the game at somewhat low research levels.

As examples: Devils, Banes, Wrights.

All exceptional summons for their cost, all at low tech levels.

Now if these paths were the ones that had poor higher levels summons then I would say that makes sense from a balance perspective.

However they also have excellent higher level summons as well, ex: demon lords, ghost riders, tartarus gate.

Finally, even if they had just some of the best summons but had poor combat magic then I would say : "maybe they are balanced."

Now it is true that blood has pretty bad combat magic. But death has excellent combat magic. Eg: Life Drain, Soul Vortex, raise dead. All excellent.

I don't get it. It seems like death and to a lesser extent blood are just better paths than the other magic paths. Is this intended? Perhaps I am missing something?
