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
correspond 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
::SYMBOL STRIKE <target>
::SYMBOL EVOKE <power> <target>
Damage Type: 100% Excoro

Can Target Denizens (strike only)
Once a Nihilist forms a deep bond with a Demon Lord, he or she may call
forth a symbol of that Demon Lord. This symbol must be wielded in order
for its powers to be enabled. It can strike an enemy as a weapon, as
well as being able to directly evoke one of the powers of the Demon Lord
whose symbol it represents (i.e., an investible power). Finally,
wielding the symbol adds a small protective field around the Nihilist,
though the field is stronger depending upon which symbol it is:
Luciphage offers more protection against blunt damage.
Ashtorath offers more protection against fire damage.
Nifilhema offers more protection against cutting damage.
Baalphegar offers more protection against cold damage.
Gorgulu offers more protection against poison damage.
