A diabolical pact is a cultural motif exemplified by the legend of Johann Georg Faust and the demon Mephistopheles, as well as being elemental to many Christian traditions.
A diabolical pact can be either oral or written. An oral pact may be made by means of invocations, conjurations, or rituals to attract the demon; once the conjurer thinks the demon is present, they ask for the wanted favor and offer their soul in exchange, and no evidence is left of the pact. A written pact consists in the same forms of attracting the demon, but includes a written act, usually signed with the conjurer's blood.
