Nihilistics is a Discipline unique to the Nagaraja that allows them to penetrate the Shroud and channel Oblivion. While some of its uses relate to the denizens of the Underworld, many of its powers allow the vampire to draw Oblivion into the physical world.
Nihilistics was replaced with the Vitreous Path of Necromancy in the Vampire Storytellers Handbook Revised.
