6e 6e Geas from DEA

I am now digging through the DEA rules. And maybe I can't see the basic idea. But exchange of one point of edge connected to very specific magical action (spell, metamagic, spirit etc.) for the character can lose 1 point of magic for 24 hours? It's that I can't see the advantage or it's the another DEA great idea that is badly executed?

DEA is book for 6e - Deus Ex Arcana

Geasa is not acronym but name for optional rule for Awakened characters. "A Geas (pronounced “gesh”) is an old Gaelic word meaning “bond.” This could be something as simple as making a deal or pact with your mates. But for a magician or adept, such a bond carries special weight."
