Magical Bargains - Ideas?
« on: May 12, 2010, 06:44:35 AM »
I was trying to come up with some realistic magical bargains, and here is what I got:

Selling a magical cure for X Malady in exchange 10 years of that person's youth.
Selling aid in exchange for a portion/all of the buyers magical ability.
Bargains for a "take my death" card in exchange for saving a life.

Any others?

There's always ye olde life debt. Save someone's life and they're forever indebted to you (in most cases until they save yours at least).

there could be "protect that childe at all costs, she will be important someday... " side of the bargain, where the character has to dedicate his life protecting someone or something until its destiny is fulfilled.

Every time you call upon my power, you have to break one of your bones.
Rule one of magic:  Never, ever, under any circumstances, trust someone named "Morningstar".

I will give you magic and power in exchange for your firstborn child.

Slay my foe, the Winter Lord X, and I shall bestow great power upon thee.

Superhuman strength and speed are yours for the low price of your (entirely untrained) ability to work magic.
