A bargain with the devil (also known as a Faustian bargain or Mephistophelian bargain) is a cultural motif in European folklore, best exemplified by the legend of Faust and the figure of Mephistopheles, and is central to many Christian traditions. The pact is between a person and Satan or a lesser demon, according to traditional Christian beliefs about witchcraft. In exchange for diabolical favors, the person offers their soul. Those favors vary depending on the story, but they usually include youth, knowledge, wealth, fame, or power.
