WRONG!!! Check out the rules for creating Geasa for Physical Adepts. If an
Adept decides to limit how a power or his magic in general works, he gets a
+25% to his magic point total. These geasa are NOT things that can be
removed by initiation. Awakenings and Grimoire both have details on this. I
suggest you reread things. There ARE bonuses guy.

And as for specific bonuses during Conditions, check out the Druids, the
Elven Paths, the Wiccan, etcetera, etcetera...all that I have done is given
some suggestions for using those things to one's benefit.

No Again, basically a given foci is being used as a "Talismanic Geasa" to a
particular spell. "I can't throw this spell without -THIS- particular
object, AT ALL." It may seem strange, but it can be done and can even be
done within the mechanics of the SR system. AND it can be done and maintain
the magical balance. Actually, it even helps to keep the balance.
