[LSJ] Cloak of Blood (Diablerie actiones)

Cloak of Blood [SoC:R]
Cardtype: Action
Requires a vampire with capacity above 5 who can commit diablerie.
(D) Diablerize a vampire in torpor, and this vampire may gain one
level of a Discipline the victim had. In the resulting blood hunt
referendum, this vampire gets an additional 2 votes.

Since it's a diablerie action, is ti aplied the 6.5.5 (from rulebook)
section?

i mean, the acting vampire gets every advantage from the card AND the
rule, or just the card effects??
my guess: both effects apply

All effects apply. Note the result of the action is:

"Diablerize a vampire in torpor"

"and do some other stuff."

The former part is pretty clearly defined by the rules; without using
the rulebook section you cite, 'diablerize' would be a meaningless
term.

So yes, you do all the stuff listed in the rulebook under diablerizing
a vampire, and you also get the rest of it (the cardless discipline
and the extra votes.)
