The technologist theme grants a character an encounter power with the arcane and summoning keywords. Upon reaching level 5 the theme mentions that the contraption summoned through the power follows the rules of an animal companion. Does it mean the Essential's druid sentinel's animal companion rules, the animal master companion rules, the beast master's beast companion rules or something else? Also, does that replace the encounter power such that the contraption is no longer considered a summoned creature but rather an animal companion, and is thus active all the time, or is it both a summon and an animal companion?
On another note, does the contraption use the character's powers as though it were wielding the character's weapon or implement, or must it be equipped with its own? Or is either option allowed?
