Other options depend on the level of magic that’s available to the court. lesser geas and geas/quest are both highly effective short-term solutions, but the effects may not last long enough to handle a pilgrimage or an extended quest. mark of justice, greater mark of justice, and sentinel stones can all enforce a particular type of behavior for an extended period of time.
When dealing with geas/quest, mark of justice, and sentinel stones, be aware that the caster can either demand a course of action (‘Return
with the Crown of Gol within six days- time’), command that you refrain from a specific action (‘Cause no harm to any human being’), or both at once (‘You will leave this land as quickly as possible, and then never return’). Taboo – only allows you to forbid a course of action, but it has more powerful short-term effects than geas. While geas and taboo spells have a limited duration, part of a geas could involve returning on a regular basis to have the spell refreshed; in a sense, this would be a form of mystical probation.
