What is the evil Cleric domain?

An Evil Cleric domain in tabletop RPGs (like Dungeons & Dragons) grants divine powers focused on darkness, control, selfishness, and negative energy, often serving evil deities by twisting divine magic for personal gain or dominance, using abilities like harming foes with negative energy, manipulating emotions, commanding fiends, or raising undead, diverging from typical holy clerics by embracing ego and selfish desires. Specific mechanics vary by game system (e.g., 5e SRD, Pathfinder), but themes include martial prowess, dark spells (like Bane, Inflict Pain), and control over outsiders.
