It depends. Hell gains from chaos. Hell is the promulgation of Chaos over order.... (Well, depending on your theology)
No need for the massively long post. Don't mean like Dresden Files inconvenient or black hole Dark - just something that makes the sacrifice feel worthwhile, like something that has happened. What that something is can fit the tone of the series it comes from.
Making a deal with Hild would be very different from making a deal with fucking Barbatorem or something. Or, making a deal with Goddess! Barbatorem might be very different from making a deal with Pact! Hild.
Maybe I'm just putting a bit too much about how I GM games into things. It seems very much like something that could be placed under the 'Flaw' heading - to gain points to do other things. And it'd be a poor GM that didn't at least allow players to be inconvenienced by their flaws. Punished is never fun, but the inconveniences is what make the game fun. So does putting players in situations where their flaws become things that have to be worked around.
To use a Shadowrun metaphor, the effect of those flaws and how those strings can be pulled can be very different in a Pink Mohawk or Black Trenchcoat game. (I like Pink Trenchcoat....)

I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed.
One day they're going to ban them.
