<section begin=customnightmare />'''Custom Nightmares''' are a type of [[advanced spell customization]] that offer a unique nightmare as experienced when casting [[Curse (715)#Nightmare|Nightmare Curse]] upon another player or by eating a [[black essence rose]]. Only the target of the nightmare experiences the unique messaging. Fully custom nightmares are a rare service occasionally offered at [[festival]]s or [[pay event]]s. They are a [[delayed service]] when the player is writing their own. A character can only have one nightmare type at a given time.

To access a custom nightmare, use {{boldmono|PREP 715}} then {{boldmono|CURSE {TARGET} NIGHTMARE 99}} to cast the spell, or use {{boldmono|ILLUSION ROSE 99}} to make a black essence rose with the custom nightmare.

When creating a custom nightmare, the following items are required:
* The opening paragraph to the Nightmare. Try to keep it succinct (i.e. < 300 characters), although it can be longer.
* The second paragraph to the Nightmare. Try to keep it succinct (i.e. < 300 characters), although it can be longer.
* A generic word (one word) that will work for the various pre-set damage messaging that follows

Certain subject matter that is truly horrific will not be allowed as a custom nightmare.

In the following example of a custom nightmare, the opening paragraph, second paragraph, and generic word for damage messaging are all italicized:
<pre{{log2}}>
Holding you in his gaze, Strath utters a foul curse upon you in Elven.
CS: +509 - TD: +31 + CvA: +19 + d100: +69 - -5 == +571
Warding failed!
You shiver as a cold wind suddenly blows through the area. It was probably nothing.

''An ominous black haze edges around your vision. As you struggle to focus, you suddenly feel yourself teetering in the top of a very tall tree.''
>
''The tree in which you're trying to keep steady is very ugly. Oh no, you just fell out! Your body crashes into the boughs and limbs as they rush up at you...''
>
You suffer a devastating ''strike''!
... 62 points of damage!
You are stunned!

You are able to move again.

An incredible ''strike'' leaves you reeling!

You are stunned!
