I think the problem with him getting Gretchel killed is that, by this point, he can't die - literally. The whole point of the contract is to make him mortal again. So the contract is more of a formality than either getting anything out of it - maybe even a way of Gretchel making him feel better about the sins of the past.

Also, this raises a question of how to break the contract, otherwise it's a suicide pact, his he'll kill himself the moment his mortal again, or at least it seems so - and since Gretchel is a homunculus she's probably ageless.

Of course, the metaphysics are somewhat vague, why's he immortal anyway?

He's immortal because Gretchen cursed him with immortality when he executed her a century prior.

Hmm, that's some thinking ahead - he'd been made immortal for killing the witches so that he'd like to become mortal by killing all the witches.

I was wondering: since the witches are very much keen on enacting vengeance upon humans, why do they not start with Faust, who lead the mock trials and is actually responsible for their deaths? Is is a condition of the resurrection spell?
