If tricking/manipulating people into getting what you want is evil, then isn't Lorkhan evil for tricking the others to create Nirn at the cost of their divinity?

Malevolent use to mean tricking &/or manipulating someone into doing something for you. That something could be to relieve boredom, get revenge for you, steal for you, ect; none of which are evil. Current definition means what everyone else has been implying, doing something evil. But to honestly believe that, you'd have to accept and believe that any case of one being manipulating another is evil, otherwords you'd just be biased towards one group of individuals, in this case the daedra.

This is in regard to Clavicus Vile, being concidered evil, when he's simply malevolent.

This isn't a rant, but rather me trying to manipulate the way everyone else looks at what it means to be manevolent, compared to being evil.
