The way I see it, imps grow in power the more energy they obtain, and lose power if they don't obtain more energy over an extended period of time. Once their magic is more powerful than the sorcerer/witch that they are bound to, they are strong enough to charm their master into obeying them, not really reversing the original contract so much as they are ignoring it.

Following that logic, the power of the magician is a huge factor here. The stronger the magician is, the more difficult it will be for an imp to gain the strength required to actually overpower them in the first place.

Of course, the key factor here is how much energy the imp's getting. It's probably possible to keep her at the same strength if you can find the right amount of time between fucking her - I mean, 'offering her some of your spirit energy'.
