I like how this combination of Unhallowed Pact and removal makes black control magic more justified.
The flavor text itself doesn't do anything for me. It takes a special kind of disposition to start this statement with "Do not worry" and mean something. In an unattributed quote or one attributed to character I do not know it's inferior to a phrase that implies repetition e. g.
"You still refuse? Unfortunate. We'll see what another night in the cells can do about that."
"How much longer are you going to torture yourself over a choice that never was yours?"
"Shall we begin again? How many lights are there?"
I like your second suggested flavor text, but so do I the current one. It has this unsettling warmth and inevitability written into it. "Do not worry" supposed to come of as a strange thing to say with what follows being the punch line. Why is implying repetition required? This has the memeable "soon" going on with it currently.
Flavorful and mechanically sound. Neat.
