I agree with you, Rikard T'Aranaxz, about the whole issue of what constitues "evil". One idea about this is "faith based" spells (priest spells) would already have its set belief in that the beliefs set down by the power would dictate that. However, since the morality/diety issue wouldn't necessarily affect the Magicuser spell, this could (and for the sake of "realism" in said fantasy world, should) change the way the spell works.

Here's an interesting idea that would come from that: say the characters are in a heated battle with some enemy and they cast said spell and NOTHING HAPPENS!!!
Now they have a new puzzle to mess with (is enemy evil? did I tick off my diety? is there some kind of problem with magic?) and one of my favorite things to do is give new puzzles to deal with. They have an answer, tho, so as not to frustrate my players too much...
