●Contract with the Abyss is used as a generic substitute for Ritual Spell Cards like Black Illusion Ritual and Contract with the Dark Master. You can't use Contract with the Abyss to Ritual Summon a non-Ritual Monster like Dark Magician.
●Cost Down won't reduce the number of Level Stars needed to perform a Ritual Summon, even if used with Contract with the Abyss.
●If you Ritual Summon a Ritual Monster using Contract with the Abyss, it is considered properly Summoned, so you can use Monster Reborn on it afterwards.
