pointed out to me last night that it's very appropriate to use magical language to describe unconscious contracts (i also like "unconscious vows") - they're like spells you cast as a child, which carry the risk of substantial magical backlash

so, the vague picture is that a sensitive child, especially one who's been somewhat neglected and/or abused by caregivers, who experiences bad things is especially likely to react by making a lot of unconscious contracts to protect themselves: "avoid THIS at ALL COSTS"
