Dual Form and Banishment [Q: LSJ]

Ok, so a question about Dual Form, capacity, and Banishment has come up in a JOL game. Nadima, an 8 cap vampire, creates a Dual Form at PRO and her capacity is reduced to 7. Nadima is eventually banished. Dual Form burns. If Nadima were to be transfered out again would you need 7 or 8 pool to re-influence her to the controlled region? Assuming that the capcity reduction is permanant and that Dual Form is not a card played on the vampire I think it would be 7, but I've been known to make mistakes now and again :) thanks, Jon Dual Form: +1 stealth action [pro]Untap this vampire. During this minion phase, you may untap this vampire again. [PRO]This acting vampire's capacity is reduced by 1. Put this card in play, tapped. It becomes a non-unique vampire with the same clan, capacity and disciplines as the acting vampire. You may move up to 2 blood from the acting vampire to this vampire. If either minion leaves the ready region, the other is burned. Banishment: Political Card - Worth 1 vote. Called by any vampire at +1 stealth. Choose a younger ready vampire. Successful referendum means that vampire is moved to the uncontrolled region (place him or her face down).The vampire is uncontrolled. The vampire's blood counters, master cards, and minion cards stay with that vampire with any counters they have on them (these cards are out of play as long as the vampire remains uncontrolled). Relevant clarifications/erratas: All cards on the uncontrolled vampire become uncontrolled as well, and are not subject to contesting while out of play. These cards come back into play when the vampire does. [RTR 20000501] A Banished vampire will remember all effects that had been applied to him, just as Contested vampires do. This includes gained or lost titles, etc. [RTR 20000501]

But skill cards, and other cards that increase or decrease have no affect for the banished vampire. Thanks...

[ quoted text not captured ] Because those effects are based on the cards being in or out of play; while Banished the cards (like skill cards) are out of play and thus have no effect. Dual Form's capacity-reduce, or an increase from an appropriate Praxis, don't care that the Dual Form or Praxis is in the ash heap - the effect has already been applied (permanently) to the vampire. > Thanks... -John Flournoy
