Description Uncovered: 26.05.2014.
Parents of first cat to express this trait:
Banshee 406  & Lnd Navajo 1005
First cat, expressing melanism: Cub ID : 2492 
comments.deviantart.com/1/4345…
No white markings or any other actual color will be shown on such cat.
Color predictions:
Cat always will have dark seal brown or black shades.
Pangare will be visible only when homo (PanPan), will be dark reddish color or dark gold-ginger tan - think  of doberman dogs)
No belly roan will be visible - only if BrnBrn - as various shades of dark grey - never - white.
Eye colors: black, pale browns, olive, light green (lime green), grey, light grey.
Dilutions - affect only eye colours: nCr/CrCr - blue eyes, nCh/ChCh/ various shades of green. From black green to vivid lime and olive.
Silver: nZ - all cat might get slightly lighter/greyish.
ZZ - markings will turn light grey, cat will look like horse that only start to grey out - might have white/silver mane even without siam.
Silver + Siam - (nZ + BB, ZZ +BB or ZZ + nB or nZ + BB) will get cat with grey tips + grey or white mane. With ZZ - silver can go all over cat`s body, making cat look like horse that only start to grey out.
nW/WW - ONLY white markings that can show up. Yet nW will always be presented in very few and very little markings. WW may have dark "colored" areas (think of maximum expression of paint patterns in horses - alot of white with small islands of colored coat)

If a parent is nM, what's the chance of a melanistic cub? ^^

Very low. It`s a mutation that happens from time to time.

3501 Male, Shugo X any heavy classic shedu cat lineart 170cm
nM ee/Aa/tt/nZ/nCr/nLp [0]

Is this a mutation that can randomly pop up in any possible breeding pair? Or is it also lineage related?
(Or is that something not discovered yet )

melanism is like the opposite of albinism, instead of being white, animals are black
