NOTE about “slaves” in the book:

All sex in this book is consensual. The Contract spell depicted in this book requires voluntary consent from all parties for the Contract spell to be binding. The usage of the term “slave contract” is for convenience. It only indicates a specific category of the Contract spell where one party is subservient. The “slave” in the contract is not viewed as property; they are not in chains/cages, marked/branded, or seen as a lower value humanoid of the society in this work. Any Contract spell can be broken, but it causes pain for each saving throw against the Contract spell after the agreement. Failed saving throws cause them to lose their CON stat. If a Dispel Magic is not cast to remove the Contract, it will result in the death of the individual breaking the contract if their CON stat drops to zero.
