Plus the whole protection from good is an Evil spell thing. My good eldritch knight wanted that spell when he was forced to fight some angels and demon summoning evil casters regularly want the Good portection from evil spell.As for your two points I think it is still possible to harmonize those elements as presented in the SRD.1 Undead are created more than just negative energy, there is an actual element of supernatural evil involved. Therefore other uses of just straight negative energy (cause wounds spells) do not tap this supernatural evil the same way undead and undead creating spells do.2 Alignment subtypes are generally for outsiders only, even paladins only have an aura of goodness special quality not a good descriptor. Another reason would be that demons are made up of elemental Evil and Chaos while undead are a mix of elemental Evil and either a neutral body or a non elementally Evil spirit. This mix would explain why they always detect as evil but not as strongly as evil outsiders and why they don't have the Evil descriptor even though their creation spells do.However in my campaign as well they have the Evil descriptor to better go with the supernatural evil of their creation spells.</blockquote>
