From the One Book Whose Current Name We Won't Mention (But Which Will Be
Called Awakenings) And Will Be Out In November (this name is getting longer
all the time :)

Anyway, on with the show: geasa for a physical adept are self-imposed, and
do not result from Magic loss. If a physas takes a geas when buying a
power, (s)he pays only 75% of the Magic Cost for that power. However, the
power only works when the geas is not broken.
For example, take Astral Perception with a Domain (Bar) geas. You pay 1.5
Magic for the Perception, but it only works as long as you're inside a bar.
