This concept reminds me to a pair of mechanics in the CCG arcade Animal Kaiser: Holy Burst possessed by White Knights which makes all your attack become level 5 and Dark Burst possessed by Dark Force which makes all your opponent's attack become level 1.

Upgraded version needs to balanced vs sparktal, scorpions, and vampires.
I haven't done the math on that yet, but those are some key points to check.

I've tried to balance it around those, compared to Nightfall with higher cost, and not being a permanent, though the latter can be percieved as a buff as well...

I think something cool should happen if you have both of them at once but I have no idea what.

I'm thinking that for 5 :light and +1/+1, Yang is on the expensive side. True, it affects every freakin' thing you can conceive on board, from Abominations to Wyrms and every freakin' thing between 'em. But we can do better with things like Shards of Patience (+2/+2, at cost of not attacking in that turn).

I think something cool should happen if you have both of them at once but I have no idea what. 

I don't think it's practical enough to warrant it, even if Darkness/Light have some good tricks that ties 'em together. The six-card limit is per un/up parallel, not six upped and six unupped.

I meant something cool but hardly useful would happen so it's not good for strategy but just makes the card more interesting. Also I would like to draw attention to dry spell which I don't see how Yin could possibly be better or even equal to.

How would Yin affect opponents cards that are 1 hp, like damsels, parasites, phoenixes, etc?

I assume it kills them, and turns the Phoenix into Ash.

Thats what I figured. I guess the only other question that I have, would be if they would stack or if they would be like Nightfall/eclipse

Dry Spell deals HP damage. Yin deals permanent HP damage (so it cannot be healed back) and it also lowers the ATK.

Since these are spells they can't really stack, but yes, if you cast 2 Yangs then the creatures will receive +1|+1 twice
