Spells associated with particular alignments are indicated by the chaos, evil, good, and law descriptors in their spell descriptions."While technically not an Evil spell, you could've chosen not to grant the spell to the cleric, or have it fail at the moment the intent of the use of the spell was clear. Gods aren't fools, they know what's going to be done in their name. In my view, they don't only punish afterwards, they proactively try to stop anything that is done in their name that causes harm to them.Furthermore, between the casting of the spell and unleashing it, did you ask the player out-of-game if he fully understood all consequences and potential repercussions? Was the player willing to accept any consequenses of his choice? If so, punish him by all means. If not, maybe you two should work something out.</blockquote>
