All you need is to sign a blood pact to the imp and you're ready to go with free magic gifts. If you want to renegotiate you will have to prey on the souls of others and perform tasks for the imps. Imps are happy to help you refinance these deals. Imps for a laugh might trick your desires and interfere with your joyful use of the gift and pop up to remind you all your prosperity is because of hell and nobody really loves you like hell does
Devils being legalists do this the most and trade in souls and enslave them. Demons prefer to fight over them, eat them or use to make demons for minions. Demons prefer to not use trickery and law to get souls. Demons are mercenary and are often sent to snatch those breaking contracts with hell and occasionally demons try to earn a buck getting mortals to sell their souls. Such souls are low value usually drained by succubi and near worthless but it happens. Daemons collect larvae from demons and devils and it is less certain how night hags became the planar traders in damned souls in larvae form.
Imps might be jerks with rewards and enjoy engineering ironic slaghter. But sometimes they might observe a candidate for a while as the greater the level the better the tool and the tastier the soul. Long games often require imps visit a hellcat who delight in advising but occasionally move in to "convert" a delightful victim.
Sometimes when an adventurer is alone in a dark hole a hellcat might offer to help them and make a pact. A hellcat will follow around adventurers giving them twisted information to promote hell. They will happily aid you in reading those blasphemous texts or help locate a demon cult or minions of chaos. Doing the devils work can pay.
