Initiator archetypes

Tenebris Angelus
Lend Me Your Life: First off I think it should definitely state that allies can opt out of sacrificng any HP if they desire. That said, I don't think it's good to have the limit break be so varied depending on how many things nearby can be considered an ally and are willing to give you some HP.

The name makes me think of a reversed Shield Other, so whenever you take damage it's halved abd they take the remainder. Willing ally, or an unwilling target would get a save to negate it. Keep the duration as is, range 60ft for the single target. I don't know if it needs this, but you could also increase the number of targets at every 4th level. So at level 12, you affect three people, whenver you are damaged it's divided four ways (or less if some targets made their save).

Class Stances:
Vehementiam Draghignazzo: ...alright, gimme a minute.

Alright, so, the name is great, moving on.

"While in this stance, you add one point of damage that counts as both fire and shadow damage to your attacks, whichever is favorable, plus your Charisma modifier, for every four class levels."
I was confused by this ta first until I saw the damage progression on a later stance, the wording should be fixed since this almost sounds like you add your charisma mod every 4 levels.

"The fragility that the energy blights your skin with, however, adds one point of damage to their attacks for every four class levels you have (minimum 1)."
So enemies basically get bonus damage against you that scales with level, while in this stance?

"Expenditure of one use of harm touch grants you another point of fire/shadow damage for every 1d6 that your harm touch ability would deal for as long as you remain in this stance."
That's a bit much, Harm Touch scales at 1d6/2 levels, to every attack as long as you don't break stance. Just to give an idea, at 8th level with 16 charisma, if you expend a single Harm Touch (which you have 7 of a day) your damage boost would go from

Invidia Scarmiglione: This one feels a lot more limited in scope, the bonus is only on maneuvers that specialize with curses, the drawback only triggers on a couple elements rather than all attacks like before. If the goal was to just add a couple more elements, maybe just having it be a variant of the other stance would work better.

Malitia Cagnazzo: Onto the 3rd level one. It's interesting to say the least. When you pull the aura in, does it ever expand outward again?

Superbia Malacoda: I like it, there's some bits of grammar out of place but the overall effect is kinda cool, doesn't feel overly strong.

Concupiscentia Barbariccia: That's another mouthful... this is a cool idea but ends up really messy, I don't really know what I'd suggest on it.

Honorem Rubicante: I like 'modes', so you get bonus points for that.
-Defendere: Powerful... maybe have it start of resistance to fire/cold, upgrade to immune at a later level, upgrade again to absorb at 19 or 20.
-Impetum: I can see why it'd be less defensive, but suddenly gaining a vulnerability to cold feels hard to justify. Since they're just wings, coming out of your back, what if it lacked any resistance whatsoever to fire and cold, but no vulnerabilities as well. Just offense and mobility boosts.

Beatitudo Calcabrina: I think having it just be damage increase by 1 category would be fine enough, honestly. And the supercharge version... I'm not really a fan of, I'd tone it down a bit or a lot.

Unbending Malice: Neat, I like it.

Lamina Timoris: Also neat, I like this too.

Ferit Tranquila Morte: Hmm... overall I think this looks good.
