Permanent Monster Familiars

Not sure if you're implying this but: From what I understand even with Potential Familiar Cards do not lose their inherit bonus for being summoned. It's just no longer on the card's info. They still have the original buff (Like for example, Mutant Pigs still have Drop Bonuses), and also whatever the potential reveals to give.

Oh no, I am strictly speaking about the potential bonus, not the original card bonus.

For Monster Familiar Potential: Adding an orb if/when it's implemented will not magically give the Familiar Potential, sadly. Any Familiar in your book before the change is screwed, and can never get it. Ever.

Pineapple, it is worse than I thought then.
