The spell radiates an evil aura, that is what detect evil detects.  It however doesn't assign any morality to the use of the spell.  When I spoke of logic earlier this is precisely what I was talking about.  You turn to the rules to say that and casting a spell with the evil descriptor is an evil action, if we use your reading of the rules across the board that would mean that casting any spell with the good descriptor would have to be a good action.  See above what I meant about your logic.  The minute you start talking about the rules you have a hard and fast base that your working from and it will apply equally across the board, you can't just say it applies here, but not here simply because it doesn't suit you.  The symmetrical nature of the dnd ruleset pretty much demands that when you speak of one extreme your also making a ruling at the opposite end of the spectrum.  If you want to divorce your views from the rules that is all well in good, but in that case you are no longer strictly speaking in terms of D&D as it is put forward in the rule books.  So I would say that is not at all clear in D&D terms.  Perhaps in terms of your own campaign, or personal views but not by the common rules that we all share.</blockquote>
