No direct 0.5 patch change is linked to this page. The displayed values are current for catalog version 0.5.4d.
Check four separate values: the Companion limit, the number of creatures the skill creates, its Spirit reservation, and whether the Companion can take damage. Wolf Pack and Cackling Companions each create several creatures but count as one Companion. Trusted Kinship and Yriel's Fostering allow two Companions of different types, while Sylvan's Effigy allows any number of different types. Wild Protector explicitly does not use a Companion slot.
Apply Azmeri wisps to a Rare Beast and kill it during the wisp duration. The gem becomes an account-bound Companion gem for that Beast. The captured Beast retains up to four ordinary monster modifiers, chosen at random when more than four are present. Essence and Azmeri wisp modifiers are not retained.
