Co-operative phantoms and shades may use or be affected by healing spells at any time, however. However, should the host be invaded, usage of Estus Flasks will not be allowed until the invader has been defeated or gone home.

The summoned player will also have their humanity restored upon fulfilling their duty and returning to their world.

Members of the Heirs of the Sun covenant have gold summon signs and appear as golden phantoms and shades. The reward for helping the host defeating an area's boss is a Token of Fidelity and the restoration of humanity. White phantoms have a timer of 15 minutes. Players and NPCs summoned via the White Sign Soapstone will appear as white phantoms. Shades can still be summoned if the area boss is already defeated. The reward for helping a host as a shade is a Smooth & Silky Stone, which will be awarded at the end of the summon time, regardless of progress and the restoration of humanity. When the summoned player's time is close to being over, the shade will appear darker. Shades have a timer of 5-8 minutes this timer is shortened based on the amount of souls gained while in the host's world.
A summon sign using this soapstone will be small and white, and the summoned player will appear similar to a white phantom.
