who want to operate at full strength until their next initiation, when
they can get rid of it. Going without the geasa means that yes, you
can get your metamagical technique later, but you'll be less powerful
in the meantime. It's a trade-off.

No!

You're generalising, Twist.

SOME magical groups look down on such potential burnouts. Some don't.
It all depends on how the GM decides they view the subject.

Personally, I'd look down more on mages who limited their abilities in
order to save their power (by taking Geasa) than ones who toughed it
out.

*Doc' would also look down on mages who refused to bathe while they
were in the middle of an enchanting process...cleanliness is next to initiation...*
