In fantasy based fictions, it is a recurring feature that mages would summon a [[Familiar]], usually a demon or an owl. But wait! What if the being they entered a [[Magically-Binding Contract]] with is a humanoid or of their same species — especially one that is of the opposite sex and at least one party has romantic interest in the other? Then, this is a [['''Magic Contract Romance]]'''. In many cases, the contract between the contractor and his/her contractee would also grant greater spiritual bonds between them, often furthering their relations with one and other--oftenother—often romantic feelings. In many cases, weaker heroes would also [[Magically-Binding Contract|enter into a contract]] with a stronger being for protection.
 
A common plot regarding this trope would usually involve the breaking down of the contract--forcingcontract—forcing the couple apart-- inapart—in order to test the two's strength of their love.
 
A [[Sub-Trope]] of [[Rescue Romance]] and [[Magically-Binding Contract]], the contractor and the being they summoned would generally admire the qualities of one and other as they travel through a journey between life and death, gradually till they fall in love. If the contracted being was [[Ice Queen|originally disgusted]] by the weakness of his/her contractor, then [[Defrosting Ice Queen|the protagonist would usually gain]] affection of his/her contractee through bravery, his/her inner kindness or other inner qualities.This trope is common in both anime and manga. When this trope is present, expect a lot of action. Why in the world would one summon a guardian unless in grave danger? Note, if the contractor is as powerful as his/her contractee or [[Took a Level In Badass|increased his power]] then this trope will usually lead to a ''[[Battle Couple]]'' situation.
