>> Geass is an original idea which appears to be based very loosely

I don't agree with Blue_Mage's words, my cynicism does not run that deep, but to say Geass only appears to be very loosely based on geas is misleading.

The fictional power Geass was derived from geas in both name and usage, with an added 's' to differentiate it from the pre-existing mythical power to better suit the needs of the series. Geass is original, but it has its roots.
