The Song of Dissolution is considered to be little more than a tool for summoning yet another kind of demon on some worlds, but it is unique in that it allows the veil of worlds to be breached in a relatively quick and easy way.

How to do it

This requires a rune representing freedom, or travel, scribed within a circle. The three summoners each stand at the edge of the circle, facing inward at each other, and hum. As they do so, they channel both power and emotion into the rune below them- any kind of emotion will suffice. Assuming this is done correctly, they will begin to hum a fairly complex tune, and fall into a trance-like state, forced to review their entire lives. Then, at last, one caster selects a single memory and sacrifices it, 'pushing' it into the circle.

Effect

If this is successful, it will not only summon a Nightmare it will render it temporarily sensiate and unable to attack. By convincing the Nightmare that you could banish it before it could regain will to fight, you will convince it to instead track down and kill a different target.
