That's exactly my meaning:
Variable point flaw: Learned Geas: The magician learned thier magic
with a limitation, and must take a geas. Physical adepts can not take
this flaw, and physical mages must apply it to “active” magic.
The flaw is worth 1 point, plus another point if the character is a
“full mage”, plus another point if the geas can not ever be "shed", as
with initiation.
Particular geas may be worth an extra point, if they negatively affect
magic often in gameplay. Examples include:
Always Using a particular ACTIVE foci, or not allowing foci use at all
Not allocating any spell defense
Loud incantations
heavy, cumbersome, or fragile talismans / required objects
pacifism (cannot take flaw points for pacifism also)
So your full hermetic mage, if he took the geas flaw, and the geas was
Tarot use, would get 3 build points- full mage with a unsheadble geas
that is not particularly hard to deal with.
Then you'd want some aplicable edges, I suppose...
