To go into more detail with [[Unclassified Effect|Effects without Classification]], [[Summoning condition]]s and Built-In Summons, if the monster can be Normal Summoned/Set with a Built-In Summon, then that is done by an [[Unclassified Effect|Effect without Classification]]. [[Normal Summon]]ing/[[Set]]ting is the primary to place it on the field; therefore, any "extra" ways to Summon them are considered effects that allow them to be Summoned differently. The effect is applied on the monster in the location that it can be Special Summoned from, and for cards printed in [[Problem-Solving Card Text|PSCT]], the location is in parenthesis "()". That effect allows the monster to be Special Summoned using the Summoning Procedure described on the card text from the specific area.<br/>
For example, "[[Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World]] " can be Normal Summoned/Set as its primary way of Summoning it; therefore any Extra Summons are done by an [[Unclassified Effect|Effect without Classification]]. It is applied on Grapha in the Graveyard, and it allows Grapha to be Summoned using the Summoning Procedure of returning a "Dark World" monster to the hand and Special Summoning it from the Graveyard. If [["Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World]] " is destroyed by battle with "[[Dark Ruler Ha Des]]", then Ha Des will negate Grapha's [[Unclassified Effect|effect without classification]] in the Graveyard; therefore, Grapha cannot use the Summoning Procedure at all to Special Summon itself.<br/>However, if the monster is a [[Special-Summon Only Monsters|Special-Summon only monster]] (including "[[Nomi]]" monsters), then it's Built-In Summon is a [[Summoning condition]]. Since it cannot be Normal Summoned/Set, it must be Special Summoned on the way written on the card (or must first be Summoned) as the primary way to Summon it. The difference between these two methods of Built-In Summons is shown in the [[Card Rulings:Vampire Grace|Rulings card rulings of "Vampire Grace"]].
