* If a player enters PvP or removes any Aspect Armor or Mastery Chains that provided a bonus to [[Effective Skill|Effective Spirit Speak Skill]], any summons owned by that player will automatically revert to the Stats and Skills that would be provided by the player's base Printed Spirit Speak Skill (instead of Effective Spirit Speak skill)
