AB NIHILISM WINGS
NIHILISM - WINGS

Syntax: DARKCALL WINGS
Demonic wings are yours for the asking, allowing you to soar and look
down upon insignificant souls.

AB NIHILISM LINK
NIHILISM - LINK

Syntax: DARKCALL LINK NODE
Travel to the astral plane and link to a wild energy node. This will automatically channel its
latent powers directly into the Megalith of Doom.

AB NIHILISM REVILED
NIHILISM - REVILED

Syntax: PACT <Demon Lord>
        PACTS
        PACT BREAK <Demon Lord>
Power: 10 (Megalith of Doom) (to pledge)
In your journey to master the nihilistic path, you are now officialy considered Reviled by most
civilized standards. This pleases the Demon Lords of Nil, who will now allow you to form a PACT with
one of these dark masters. This pact cannot be broken, barring the unlikely fall of that Demon Lord.
Contemplating upon PACTS will also reveal what investable powers are granted. The first pact formed
with a Demon Lord is seen as an indicator of the general path that Nihilist will travel throughout
his or her life, even if that person subsequently forms pacts with other Demon Lords; thus, the
first pact is generally made only after a much consideration and reflection by the nihilist.

Note that you can also break a pact, which will also break deep bonds (if you have one).

PLEDGING LUCIPHAGE: Luciphage is not called the Supreme Master for nothing, for he is adept at
dominating and controlling others. Though his powers can be quite formidable, he prefers cunning and
manipulation over brute force. Indisputably, those Nihilists who follow the Path of the Dominator
often reflect this same cool, calculating approach, many rising to become leaders whose patient
ambitions know no bounds.

PLEDGING ASHTORATH: Unlike the more thoughtful followers of Luciphage, those Nihilists who embrace
the Path of Rage revel in brute force and destruction. Patience and forethought are seldom
considered admirable traits, as Ashtorath prefers immediate, direct and spectacular action.

PLEDGING NIFILHEMA: The Path of Cruelty is a terribly difficult and subtle path to follow. As
Nifilhema cares little about intrigue, ambition or power, she is only concerned with causing pain
and suffering, considering it the highest form of artistic expression. Nihilists on this path
develop a twisted aesthetic view of pain, creating ingenious and horrible new methods of torture.

PLEDGING BAALPHEGAR: Certainly the most intelligent of the Demon Lords, Baalphegar brings his
considerable mind to formulate complex and elaborate plots. Those Nihilists who walk the Path of
Dark Fate prefer to work behind the scenes, masterminding insidious schemes and intrigues.

PLEDGING GORGULU: Very few Nihilists choose the Path of the Devourer, for Gorgulu is the most warped
and incomprehensible of the Demon Lords. Those Nihilists who do are considered insane and unstable.

INVESTING POWERS INTO A DEMONIC THRALL: The specific powers granted by a pact with a Demon Lord

invested into your demonic thrall.

Syntax: OPEN CHANNELS
Power:  10 (Megalith of Doom)
This power will open up aetheric channels between you and summoned
planar entities. Once such channels are open, you will not use any
equilibrium when summoning (though you must have equilibrium).

Opening your channels while on Nil will only require half the normal
power cost.

AB NIHILISM DEMON

AB NIHILISM SYMBOL
NIHILISM - SYMBOL

Syntax: PACT DEEP <demon lord>
Power:  10 (Megalith of Doom)
One of the most important and difficult tasks a Nihilist undertakes is
forming a deep bond with a Demon Lord. This can only be accomplished
after subjugating souls imprinted on spikes into the Necromentate that
corresponds to the Demon Lord with whom the bond is being sought. Once
enough souls are enslaved (and it takes quite a lot), the Nihilist may
journey to Nil and seek to form a deep bond with that Demon Lord.

A Nihilist may only ever have one deep bond with a Demon Lord. This
reflects a special relationship between Demon Lord and Nihilist and
should be given much thought. If a pact is ever broken, so too will the
deep bond be broken.

Syntax: SYMBOL CALL

Wielding your unholy symbol, you can cast a few strands of the Web of
Despair at your victim. Too little to entangle them, but it is not the

strand.

AB NIHILISM SCOURGE
NIHILISM - SCOURGE

Syntax: DARKCALL SCOURGE
Power: 10 (Megalith of Doom)

When your circumstances become dire and your thrall isn't pulling its

powers instead of one.
