Yeah, getting a weapon 10; especially with stunts added in...isn't too hard to accomplish.

Trying to stat the Geas ability from code geas.
The Eyes of the King [-4]
This ability requires eye contact between the target and the holder of this power. The holder of this power can plant a suggestion in his opponents subconscious which must be obeyed. Planting this suggestion requires a presence maneuver to make eye contact (usually vs empathy) and gives the aspect "commanded". The target of this attack then suffers an mental attack at the holders presence vs discipline each round until he is either taken out (when he will automatically obey the command) or he chooses to obey the command. To remove this command would require magical assistance the complexity for such a ritual would have to beat the original maneuver roll.
Sanctaphrax:
I don't think so. The "every round" part is far too brutal, and it seems unfair to be completely screwed if you don't have Thaumaturgy. Basically this lets you inflict instant take-out with a maneuver on most of the world's population.
Also it beats up Domination and takes its lunch money.
I think a compel-based mechanism might be good. Something like:
"You may make Presence or Deceit maneuvers to force eye contact, which gives an aspect phrased in the form of a command. The aspect never goes away barring plot or ritual magic. You may spend FP to compel the aspect whenever you please, and the GM may compel it as well."
How's that look?
It's still pretty brutal. Maybe too much so. But it ought to be at least somewhat brutal...
ways and means:
Really it is just venom mechanics (ok with mental stress) the only real change to it (besides the obvious) is the change from scholarship removal to lore based removal (because I don't see a way standard medicine could remove it) and a different taken out result, its different from domination in that one domination can't be removed by magic (not even by the Merlin) and you only get 1 command.
