I would be cautious of using Sense of Duty instead of Duty in this sort of mind control build. For starters, it feels like a bit of a point crock, since Sense of Duty (one other person) is only -2, whereas Duty with all of the Involuntary, Frequency of Appearance: Constantly, and other modifiers will be much higher.
To justify that big of a difference, the limitations of Sense of Duty compared to Duty need to be
strongly enforced. The biggest one is that Sense of Duty
doesn't compel the person with it to obey the person they've devoted to. Instead, they want what's best for that person, which may very well not correspond to what the person who inflicted it wants. For example, a mind-control wizard who hits a fighter in the opposing side with Sense of Duty (Me) might very well find the fighter suddenly grabbing them and dragging them away from the fight, on the grounds that the fighter now wants to keep them safe, and the best place to be safe is far away from such a fight.
