What does "words for evil" mean?

Words for Evil is the title of a game combining word game and RPG elements.

But what does this title mean? I'm not sure I understand how the word for has been used here.

And this fragment from an article about the game has confused me even further:

Upon meeting strangers I sometimes describe my job as "conjuring up words for evil". It's for this reason that Dylan Loney's Words for Evil speaks to me.

It looks like "conjuring up words for evil" is the reference to the title of the game, but I don't get it either. Has the author of this article used the phrase "words for evil" in the same sense as the developer of the game?
