I personally hate this kind of twist. If you need to actively lie to your player, not just mislead with some clever wordplay, it always feels like you’re breaking trust.

Why explain it in meta, instead of the old trustworthy totally-not-a-witch saying it only affects evil?

No need to lie, have it start to say stuff after awhile and if the other doesn't jump to demon sword that's on them.
