Rule 942 doesn't say you can decrease "any" nice dimension; it says you can decrease "a" nice dimension.  I wouldn't say that an "a" is strong enough to assume it means someone else's.

The rule *does* say your Destruction goes up when "any other Dimension was decreased."  However, it says this in the context of the score that was decreased, which was said in the context of the priest's own destruction attribute.  I'd say that's way too much context for personal attributes to assume that anyone else's attributes are involved.  I can't see anyone ruling against a CFI to that effect.

So my score doesn't go down, and you can go to whatever Apophis uses for Hell.
