I have real problems with the "unbreakable magical contract." In our world, if someone signed your name to a contract to buy, let's say, an automobile, without your knowledge,that contract would not be in force. This is an exact analogue. It's fraud, not a valid contract, and is pretty obviously a plot device. This is one of the reasons why GoF is my least favorite of the books.
