We allow a Humakti Sword to get as many Gift/Geas as
he wants when he becomes a Sword, but afterwards we
limit it to one a year, on the High Holy Day.

If you do not have a similar limitation, then I would
suggest the following. It takes time to perform a
ceremony like this. At a minimum 1 hour, plus I would
make him roll his Ceremony and Humakti Cult Lore in
order to do this right.  

But consider this, since the character in effect has
no intention of forefilling the conditions of the Geas
he would not be granted the benefit of the Gift.
Humakt is a TRUTH cult after all. It is much more
likely that Humakt will send a Spirit of Reprisal to a
Sword who attempts to do such a thing.
