Ritual
Only a few who have made a pact with an archdemon have reported how the pact took place, but some facts are known, the demonologist must make contact through one of the servants. Demonologists have an easier time of it, as they are able to summon them. Other alignments must go to one of the demon's places of worship.
Once a caster has made contact, the demon takes control, usually for this purpose the demon opens a portal into its globe of the demon sphere, only those who can cross this threshold without perishing have any chance of a pact.
What exactly happens in the demon sphere is uncertain, but there are reports of cruel trials that the gifted have to endure, even the strongest usually return broken.
If the pact is successfully concluded, the demonologists return as other beings. Mostly only the appearance reminds of the one who entered the portal.
In any case, the pactors are now subordinates of the demon, disobedience is punished, immediately and from within, it does not matter where the pactor is. The pact binds demon and demonologist across all spheres and ailments.
At the beginning, some particularly powerful demonologists are still able to resist and even assert their own will against the demon, but sooner or later all pactors are subordinate to their master.
With the conclusion of a pact, not only is one's life committed to the demon, but also any existence after death. The demonologist only dies when the demon allows it, otherwise he is merely drawn into the demon sphere to be released again by the demon at will.
It is said that there are demons who withdraw the pact from pactors, which would be the only possibility for a pactor to return to a halfway normal life, but most of them prefer to kill the demonologist or make him a lowly subordinate if he resists.
