Can I play The Summoning at PRE and either Paths in Two Worlds or Shroud Mastery as the action is announced, if my recruit action will be a wraith or zombie in the first case or a wraith in the second? Action Summoning, The +1 stealth action. Presence Search your library for an ally or retainer. Show it to all players and put it in your hand (shuffle and discard afterward). Superior Presence Search your library for an ally. This vampire recruits that ally (requirements and cost apply as normal). Shuffle afterward. Action modifier Paths in Two Worlds Only usable as an action to recruit or employ a wraith or zombie is announced. Oblivion +1 stealth, even if stealth is not yet needed. Superior Oblivion As above, and if the action is successful, this vampire can burn 1 blood to unlock after action resolution. Action Modifier Shroud Mastery Necromancy Only usable by a ready vampire other than the acting wraith. The acting wraith gets +1 stealth. Superior Necromancy Only usable as an action to recruit or employ a wraith is announced. Unlock this vampire after action resolution if this action is successful.

followup question: Muricia's Call searches for an animal retainer, meaning the ruels allow for the search to fail and you don'T employ anything. can you still play Tainted Spring, because the type of retaienr yoiu search for is set by the action card, even if you may not find any? Muricia's call +1 stealth employ retainer action. [Animalism] Search your library for a retainer that requires Animalism. This vampire employs that retainer (pay cost as normal). Shuffle your library afterward. [Animalism] [Spiritus] As [Animalism] above, and the retainer has an additional life. [Superior Animalism] [Superior Spiritus] As [Animalism] [Spiritus] above, and unlock this acting vampire at the end of the turn. Tainted Spring Tainted Spring [Action Modifier] Tainted Spring Only usable as an action to recruit or employ an animal is announced. [Animalism] If this action is successful, the animal gets +1 strength (for an ally) or inflicts +1 damage (for damage-dealing retainers). [Superior Animalism] As above, and the animal gets 1 additional starting life. Only usable as an action to recruit or employ an animal is announced. [Animalism] If this action is successful, the animal gets +1 strength (for an ally) or inflicts +1 damage (for damage-dealing retainers). [Superior Animalism] As above, and the animal gets 1 additional starting life.

“A retainer requiring animalism” (Muricia) is not the same as “an animal retainer” (Tainted). So, your question is moot I guess.
