Or, at your initiation, you _keep_ the geas, get still _another_ magic
point _and_ the metatechnique. At one point, the geas(a) will be so
annoying, you'll decide to get rid of them. And that's why they give you
the possibility to do so. But taking one, will give you an extra magicpoint
before, and possibly (if you keep it) also after the initiation.
