OK, I love the new way of the geasa (never liked the other one).
So to sum up (and offer my view):
a) Following a geas allows one to "keep" the lost point.
MV=> Great, I think this is how it should be.
b) If you have multiple geasa follow them all or lose all the points.
MV=> I think it is kind of harsh, but not inherently wrong.
c) What happens upon initiation ?
MV=> Either gain a new Magic Point and keep the geas or lose the geas
without droping in Magic rating. (Actualy abandon the geas, losing a point
that is instantly regained free of geasa.)

And what is that I hear about using geasa to counter cyberware?
I thought geasa where used to counter magic loss due to wounds etc., not
due to essence loss. Essence loss should remove Magic points permanently,
without any options for keeping them (You are making yourself weaker and
unable to hold his full potential of astral energy).
