Just acquired one of these and cast a new pet after equipping it. I have to admit I expected a "your Whisper-Steel Loop beings to glow (or flickers or whatever), but it didn't. I'm level 86 and I'm casting the Level 85 pet (necro). When I don't use any focus or I use a shard of the first minion - I get a dark blue zombie pet. This gave me a dark blue iksar skeleton pet.... (the Imprint of the enhanced minion gives me a light blue shade pet).
Just curious, trying to figure this out.
Thanks!
