I'd think it would have to be Compel Truth to be admissible as evidence. It's too easy to end an answer with "I am done" and have the last thing you say always be true.

Making Compel Truth the standard automatically make the process more rare and consequential, due to the Magery 2 prerequisite. It also provides Compel Lie (or even Forgetfulness) as reasonable countermeasures.
