Except that’s not at all the concept they’re trying to convey.
Malfested is a portmanteau of the latin/french prefix mal meaning “bad” or “evil” and infested. I.e., infested with evil. They also seem to be using it as a noun, e.g. “he was killed by a malfested.”
Manifested means made clear, shown, demonstrated, realized, or achieved.
I knew it was something like that, but couldn't get the words quite straightened out. Thanks for the clarification!
