Pact Master
The Pact Master is a sovereign of contracts, a weaver of destinies who commands the formidable power to entwine fate and promises with ink and an unyielding will. Unlike the standard merchants who trade in mere coin or fleeting favors, Pact Masters offer a more hazardous bargain: the chilling embrace of certainty. Their agreements stand resolute, upheld by invisible forces that ensure every vow brokered will come to fruition—often against the will of those who signed it.
With a mere flick of their quill, a Pact Master can bestow an abundance of fortune, unlock the treasures of profound knowledge, or grant unparalleled power. Yet, lurking in the shadows of these enticing offers is a steep and often hidden cost, for the fine print, penned in the smallest of letters, is seldom crafted to benefit the unwary client. Each signature carries the weight of an irrevocable truth, a tether to a fate that dances perilously on the edge of desire and dread.

Closer: 1st - Passive - Influence - Self
The Pact Master is rarely influenced by the words of others. The Pact Master rolls with advantage on Glean checks when contesting an Influence check.
Binding Clause: 2nd - Action - Influence - 6 Spaces
The Pact Master enforces the terms of an agreement, binding their target to their fate. Choose a foe within range. They must succeed on a Glean check against the Pact Master’s Influence die or lose an action on their next turn.
Forced Exchange: 3rd - Action - Influence - Touch
The Pact Master grants a temporary boon, but at a significant cost. The Pact Master touches a foe, who must succeed on a Glean check against the Pact Master's Influence die. If the foe fails, they gain advantage on one type of check and disadvantage on another type of check, both chosen by the Pact Master. These effects last until the end of the foe's next turn.
Escalating Debt: 4th - Reaction - Influence - 12 Spaces
The Devil will have his due. When a foe within range rolls a capacity check that they gain advantage from the Pact Master's Forced Exchange power, the Pact Master can cause the foe to take escalation damage.
Final Signature: 5th - Action - Influence - 6 Spaces - Focus - 1 Minute
A Pact Master’s ultimate contract cannot be broken or escaped. The Pact Master selects a foe within range. That foe must make a Glean check against the Pact Master's maximum Influence die. If they fail the check, they are compelled to follow the Pact Master's wishes. For the duration of this power, the Pact Master decides the action the affected foe takes with their first action on each turn, as long as that action does not lead to their immediate death.
