Within seconds, the tentacles and snapping jaws of {@umbral_realm The Abyss|W20|the Abyss} reach through, and consume whatever offering has been provided. Those schooled in Abyss Mysticism believe the nightmare entity to be a part of the summoner, as it ceases to exist if it leaves the chamber emblazoned with the Kiasyd’s sigils and blood.","Sacrifices who survive over a minute in the chamber are supposedly given the honored treatment of being diablerized by Kiasyd without, but Weirdlings sniff at such vulgar claims.","System: The vampire must inscribe a Chanjelin Ward (V20, p. 455) within a room, where it has the same effects as usual. The Kiasyd must then spend two blood points to summon a tangible nightmare from {@umbral_realm The Abyss|W20|the Abyss} before exiting the room, leaving her sacrifice behind. The nightmare is a tentacled, many-mawed creature, which cannot exist outside the sacrificial chamber for longer than a single minute."],"_links":{"self":"/api/v1/records/vampire/power/combo_discipline/sacrifice-to-nightmare","html":"/records/vampire/power/combo_discipline/sacrifice-to-nightmare","parent":null,"children":"/api/v1/records/vampire/power/combo_discipline/sacrifice-to-nightmare/children","sources":[{"abbr":"V20","page":412,"folio":412,"title":"Vampire: The Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition"},{"abbr":"LotB","page":52,"folio":52,"title":"Lore of the Bloodlines"}]},"_db":{"title":"Sacrifice to Nightmare","props":[["Prerequisites","Mytherceria ••••, Obtenebration •••"],["Bloodline","Kiasyd"]],"parent_id":null,"level":null,"category":null,"summary":"Kiasyd who know their connection to the Abyss also know it’s necessary to keep the entities within content, and doing so occasionally requires a sacrifice.
