  This skill triggers Linken's Sphere's cooldown but it would still take effect.

On the FIRST damage tick, if the target already has less than or equal to 20 HP, Nightmare is removed (The target wakes up and lives). Else, the target will lose 20 HP per tick (unreduced) until they have 20 hp or less. Then Nightmare will deal 50 magical damage, which is reduced by Spell Resistance.

  Denied units do not give any experience.
[Chain Frost]
  Slows movement speed by 30% and attack speed by 20%.
  Ministuns the first target (even if spell immune).
  Technically, the frost orb does not bounce from unit to unit, but from unit to unit location. That is, on each bounce, the orb is launched from right where the previous unit is, but it does not follow the target. Instead, it simply travels to the point where the target unit is when the orb is launched, and Frost Novas the target unit when it reaches the location, regardless of where the target unit actually is.
  Chain Frost needs sight of the target to bounce to it, so casting it into fog of war isn't a good idea.

It is possible to cause an enemy to take damage from every single line with the help of Lothar's Edge, which has an active Wind Walk that removes collision.
