Still that point system would be based on your own ethics morals and values. you cant objectively call someone evil or good. someone like hitler is seen as evil by 99.9% of the sane population of the world but still he believed himself he did a good thing by his own ethics and morals, and at that time a part of the german population agreed with him. this might be a very extreem case, but it illustrates how subjective "evil" and "good" are. We also come to a point where you'd have to decide whether or not you are still "good" if we went out and killed "evil" people (boondock saints for example, or even the death penalty). how could a spell (because thats my main issue, spells like protection from evil) determine what morals and what ethics are the correct ones? how can something so subjective be objectively measured?
