Geas

A Geas placed a magical command on a creature to carry out some service or to refrain from some action or course of activity, as desired by the caster. 
== Limitations ==
The creature had to be able to understand the caster, and while a geas could not compel a creature to kill itself or perform acts that would result in certain death, it could cause almost any other course of activity. The creature under a geas had to follow the given instructions until the geas was completed, no matter how long it took. 
== Rikako ==
It was known that a ronin, Rikako gained unique magic skills as a part of being put under a geas by a spirit of the Burning Sands. As a side effect of the geas, the fingernails on each of her hands had become long and black. Gencon - Gift of the Shogun
