Description

You place a magical command on the target creature, typically to carry out some service or refrain from some action. If the command is suicidal or nearly so, or if the creature's TL exceeds your skill level, the spell fails.\nIf the target is prevented from carrying out the command or tries to avoid carrying it out, it takes 2 points of persistent ability damage per day to each ability score (to a minimum of 1). This damage disappears 24 hours after the creature resumes its task.\nGreater geas: In addition to the ability damage for disobeying the geas, the creature also takes 3d6 HP and 3d6 SP of damage per day and is constantly sickened.

Variations & Options:

Greater geas option: In addition to the ability damage for disobeying the geas, the creature also takes 3d6 HP and 3d6 SP of damage per day and is constantly sickened.
