if the skeleton summoning doll is in the radius of the black ring mage spell that cuts the characters stats down, the one with the poison green smoke streaming from ground, it is affected as well, which is no surprise. however, when every other summoning doll and both characters return to normal stats, the skeleton's stats drop to all 0's. very irritating, as this seems a permanent change and prevents me from using that doll in combat since that spell eliminates its usefulness very quickly, and i rather prefer its ability to be a mule and carry the extra stuff i have til i can find a place to store it or a merchant. since it permanently drains the skeleton doll to 0 on all stats, and items fail to adjust those stats, this makes it rather ineffective overall. i did wait for a period of time until all the characters were back to normal, when i noticed that the skeleton took the exact opposite direction and dropped to 0 stats.
