Charles and Delis had a lengthy discussion over the contract.
It was not the original version of the contract. Many of its clauses had undergone rounds of bargaining.
Charles drafted the final version of the contract and signed it with the Succubus Delis.

Charles directly placed that soul power into the offering slot of the rune array.
As magic power flowed in, the summoning activated.
This was not a rune array for summoning demons into battle, so Delis only
