The Blessing of The Abyss

An exceedingly rare phenomenon known by few occasionally takes place within the Abyss under very special circumstances. One way to receive the blessing was discovered by the White Whistle Bondrewd when he was experimenting with the Curse of the 6th layer. Much like with the Curse of the Abyss, the event occurs during the ascent, but two people are needed to trigger the phenomenon. If one person bears the entire burden of the Curse for both (through the use of an artifact or another similar instrument), the other is spared the effects all but for mutation which has been dubbed the blessing.
If a creature should come under the effects of the Blessing of the Abyss, they do not suffer the damaging effects from The Curse of the Abyss table on the following page and their background becomes Blessed Narehate (DGA pg#), immedietely apply the 'Feature' listed in its description.

Symptoms

Narehate / Mutation Narehate (or "hollow") are beings who have survived the 6th layer's curse and whose bodies have become deformed as a result. They can take many different forms depending on the circumstances of their transformation. Their exact properties as a species are unknown. The word "narehate" comes from the term "nare no hate" (成れの果て) which means "the shadow of one's former self". When a Delver finds a Narehate, the Narehate is usually killed in order to release them from their form.

When a creature mutates via the Curse of the abyss, roll on the table below to select which body part mutates, the creature mutates by the 6th item in that list. However, if they mutate by the Blessing of the Abyss and it is their first blessing, their background becomes Blessed Narehate and its 'feature' immediately applied, else roll a second time to determine how they mutate. If a body part is already mutated, add 1 to the result until it is something the target is yet to mutate.
