I like the concept. I think we have a winner. Each point should be
made by decision if it is restricted by a geasa. I'm unsure of the all or
nothing approach on multiple geasa, I'm leaning for the point per geas
option.
The only question is how it affects burnout characters at CharGen?
It wouldn't have affected Waif much but how about other Characters? Does
the burnout have to take a geas for each point lost or for just as many
as he wants to? I also think the essence 0 magic 1 question should be
answered on whether or not it could exist. With the newest incarnation
of geasa this situation has a greater chance at becoming more frequent.
The only other question (OK I lied) is what qualifies for breaking
the geasa enough that the point will never be recovered?

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
