-You do NOT need to get 'more evil' to become more powerful. There's a measure of how generally pissed off your character is -- a trait called (wait for it) "Torment".
-Demons with high Torment can more easily access some of the mayhem-oriented powers of their Apocalyptic Form. However, high Torment demons also have trouble using OTHER powers in ways that are subtle or require fine control. A high-torment demon could (conceivably) try to light a cigarette with his powers and wind up setting everything he's touching on fire. (It's a bit of a silly example, but it gets the point across.)
-Generally speaking, high-Torment = more damage, less control. Low-Torment = less damage, more control.

-I think you could do something like Nobilis' Domain, where a Lore's dot rating indicates what you can do with it for free, but you can increase your effect by spending Faith. The scale could be something like:
-  * Sense things related to your Lore, like when someone within [some distance] endangers it, or doing psychometry-type reads when you encounter it. "Parlor tricks" involving the Lore.
-  * Manipulating or shaping the subject of your Lore -- shaping precise fires with Lore of Flames, for example.
-  * Creating the subject of your Lore -- igniting things that shouldn't burn with Lore of Flames, summoning ghosts with Lore of Death, etc.
-  * Destroying the subject of your Lore -- stopping an inferno with Lore of Flames, preventing a ghost from moving on with Lore of Death.
-  * Sensing the subject of your Lore on a broad scale, teleporting bodily to its location.
-Obviously, this makes demons a lot more powerful with Faith spends, but I would be okay with that.
