This has to be a bug. This card won't summon either SM lvl 4 or 8, just tried it. I see no reason this can't work, it says on the card "Ignores summoning conditions" so this is a bug and needs to be fixed

Just read a comment explaining the bug, and why it won't work for Silent Magician, Armed Dragon, etc. But it works fine on Ultimate Insect, so I say again, but and it needs to be fixed.

Ultimate Insect is not a Nomi -_-

In episode 61, look up in wiki. Thier is proof that this card is not working the way intended to be. Here are the text from Chazz Duel.

Turn 3: Chazz
Chazz draws "Graceful Charity" and subsequently activates it to draw three cards and discard two. Chazz then activates "Level Modulation" to allow Sartorius to draw two cards and allow Chazz himself to Special Summon "Armed Dragon LV7" (2800/1000) from his Graveyard in Attack Position, ignoring the summoning conditions. Chazz then Tributes "Armed Dragon LV7" in order to Special Summon "Armed Dragon LV10" (3000/1000) in Attack Position.

Back then cards working differently (or flat out having different effects) between anime and real life, is not that uncommon.

It's for the sake of balance. You don't have to worry about balance in anime since everything is scripted, but in real life, balance is important.

Nowadays though, cards in anime tends to work similarly in real life, because people complained that they can't reproduce the cool actions in anime with the same cards.

This card doesn't work at all! If there are hidden rules then put them on the card description. How negligent can someone be?

An "LV" monster that normally cannot be Special Summoned except by the method in its text CANNOT be Special Summoned from the Graveyard with "Level Modulation" unless it has been previously Special Summoned by the correct procedure. The "ignore the Summoning conditions" text allows for these monsters to be Special Summoned only after they have been properly Summoned by their own effect. This applies to "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8", "Armed Dragon LV7", "Silent Swordsman LV7", "Silent Magician LV8", and "Winged Kuriboh LV10".

even if u use level up, u can summon them back, the only CONDITION is, whatever you are trying to summon from GY, have left from field, not hand or deck, i have succesfully summoned horus, 8 with level up, and then 6 from GY with modulation

needs to leave from field, (glitch) but that's how it works, whatever you are trying to summon from GY, has to have left from field, not hand or deck

Before you state it, yes there WAS an "unofficial" ruling not supported by Konami at one point. There has yet to be a rewrite to the card, a specific ruling, or the specific limit in the card's description. So we go by what the card says unless we get word otherwise.

...Read that Level Down!? ruling I posted like a billion years back. That's all the proof you need, since the two cards work identically.

They don't need to give a specific ruling for every card in existence. Many cards work the same as other cards, and this ruling is consistent with every single card that ignores Summoning conditions except Timaeus the Knight of Destiny for some stupid reason.

To further back up my point... Almost every single card that Summons a monster from the Graveyard ignoring Summoning conditions has a ruling to the same effect, including Assault Revival, Double Hero Attack, Gottoms' Second Call, Infinite Light, Malefic Divide and Rainbow Gravity.

It's just how these effects work.

Dark Flattop, which has a similar "ignoring summoning condition" revival effect, was even clarified in a public forum post by a Konami staff, who stated it cannot revive the Nomi monster Flying Fortress SKY FIRE unless SKY FIRE has been Special Summoned properly first.
