There are two questions on Abombwe that I'd like to get clarification on.

1. The discipline card (Abombwe). Can I ignore the first part of the
requirements (Laibon or vampire with Protean) if I place it in a
non-standard way (e.g. diablerie, Deviki Prasanta, Creation Rites, Bima,
etc.)?

2. It seems that Abombwe cards have a Reflex usage to cancel Frenzy. Also,
some of them are Frenzy cards. Is it possible to play an Abombwe Frenzy
card that targets the vampire playing it (like Devil Channel: Back at
superior) and then cancel it with the Reflex use of another Abombwe card
(like, Devil Channel: Back at reflex)?

That is my story, be it bitter or be it sweet.
Keep a little and let a little come back to me.

I would've thought that playing a frenzy on yourself then cancelling it
would be much like going to long range then manuevering back and you
can't do that just to cycle cards.

You can't cycle maneuvers like that because of explicit rules.

A minion cannot play two maneuvers in a row (which would
effectively cancel each other). [6.4.2]

There is no general principle, however, that you can't do things that
cancel each other out.
