    Agree with most of your post and agree even more with that last bit in particular. Contracts were supposed to be this unbreakable mechanic. You could try to cheat through loopholes, but still had to follow the rules to the letter. But now towers can just go "lol nope" and rip them in half when they feel like it.

    Free juice however was already heavily hinted in book 1 with the mention that Charlie can use Unlimited Thinkgram Works and Wanda's own arkenpliers that can decrypt until the cow comes home.
