Possible errata needed for evil appendix entry

[Weave131]

Apologies if this this the wrong place. I am new to Pathfinder and this forum.

The appendix evil trait says a creature must be evil to use any ability with the evil trait. Abilities in the appendix list spells, and creatures in the appendix include PCs.

Therefore, a netural or good sorcerer with the diabolic blood line can't use focus spells, even though some of those spells suggest the player doesn't need to be evil.

Occult spell list has about 15 less spells for non evil folks.

I think this is an oversight

There is indeed a problem here, but it's specifically that certain Bloodline spells have the Evil Trait (they clearly shouldn't).

There are only three Evil spells in the actual list of non-Focus spells, and all of them probably deserve to be Evil.

You should surely be able to cast an evil spell if you arnt evil. Why do I need to be evil to cast gouhlish cravings but not evil to suck all the blood out of people with vampiric exsangunation. Or permenantly render someone insane with warp mind.
