Infernal Contracts

Many devils enter into magical contracts with mortals to provide supernatural powers in exchange for their souls. Few mortals are empowered to enter into such contracts with other mortals. Each of these contracts provide specific benefits and drawbacks. Contracts must be willingly signed by the patron and the other signatory. The process involves creation of two copies of the contract, one retained by the Patron and one by the other signatory.
The effect of a contract is that of a magic item with the contract trait. The item has no physical substance and can't be dispelled, altered, or destroyed except by destroying both copies of the contract. A contract is automatically invested and counts toward a character's limit of 10 invested items—all contracts, therefore, have, as part of their cost, a fraction of the bargainer's ability to use other magic items. Once invested, contracts aren't visible—even though their effects can be—although anyone who has one is constantly aware of its presence. If a creature dies while it has a contract invested, its soul is consigned to Hell and it can't be restored to life unless its soul is freed.
