Classification
Contract/Charm
Description
Two people, one of whom is making the vow and the other receiving it, kneel facing each other, and clasp hands.1 A third acts as “bonder” and holds his/her wand to their hands.2 I am unsure if there are always three clauses, or if the number of clauses may vary.
This forms an unbreakable magical contract, and any violation of the resulting vow/contract results in the death of the breaker (the one who made the vow).[^220726-8]
