Magically-Binding Contract: Difference between revisions

** In ''[[Mage: The Awakening]]'', Mages can use Fate magic to bind a person to their word. Such Oaths are permanant unless their terms are fulfilled or fairly powerful magic is used to break them. The Oath does have the advantage that it confers the benefit of giving the person so bound a potential boost of will to overcome anything that might prevent them from fulfilling it. However, if they break the Oath, they are permanantly blighted with a curse whose power is proportional to that of the mage who cast it. At higher levels, mages can bind people to Oaths that they didn't actually make.

* In ''[[GURPS]]'', if you manage to summon a demon (fairly easy) and control it (''not'' so easy), you can order it to do one task lasting up to one hour. The demon is bound to obey, but it will use any loopholes it is smart enough to think of, ''and'' get into as much trouble as possible along the way. Remember how we said [[Evil Is Not a Toy]].

* ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]'': Timmy made [[Genie in a Bottle|Norm the Genie]] sign one so he'd grant his last wish without any loopholes.

** Flappy Bob signed a contract with the Pixies to restore the Learn-a-torium and make the world dull and boring while the Pixies took over Fairy World. When Flappy learned the Pixies were manipulating him all that time, he exploited a loophole in the contract to make everything back to normal. The contract stated Earth should be safe and happy "as defined by Flappy Bob". Flappy changed his definition to "everything being the way it's supposed to be". The Pixies then had no choice but to remove the boredom from everywhere in Dimmsdale (except the school) and return Fairy World to fairy control.
