"The following blood pacts have had their effect duration lengthened:
Hastega / Crimson Howl / Frost Armor / Rolling Thunder / Lightning Armor"
"The following blood pacts have had their effect duration lengthened commensurate with summoning magic skill, regardless of whether or not the skill has been increased to its maximum:
Shining Ruby / Glittering Ruby / Hastega / Crimson Howl / Frost Armor / Rolling Thunder / Lightning Armor / Ecliptic Growl / Ecliptic Howl / Noctoshield / Dream Shroud"
The duration increase with summoning skill over cap was added 10/19/2006. This was the same update that added Hasso and Seigan to SAM and separated Blood Pacts into Rage and Ward. This adjustment is very much in the ToAU Era.
