<div id="bkmrk-in-game-description-"><table><tr><td>![]()</td></tr><tr><td></td></tr></table>

### In-Game Description

---

*Online play item.  
Leave summon sign.*

*Be summoned as a shade to another world  
in order to help that world's master for  
a certain time. You will be rewarded for  
successfully assisting the other player.*

*The effect is not as long-lived as that of  
the White Sign Soapstone, and it is used  
only in particular places to provide assistance.*

### Use

---

Place a small summon sign where you stand, allowing human players to use it to summon you into their world as a Shade for co-op.

- After being summoned, fulfilling your duty to the host will earn you a Smooth &amp; Silky Stone and restore your humanity. You may fulfill your duty in one of the following ways: 
    - You assist the host in defeating an area boss.
    - You remain in the host's world long enough to "time out" and be sent back to your world without killing an area boss.

### Availability

---

In the room above the Cardinal Tower bonfire in Forest of Fallen Giants. You can simply destroy the first door if you do not yet have the Soldier Key.

### Summon Timer

---

By default, the Small White Sign Soapstone allows the player to be summoned for a little over 8 minutes. However, every enemy that is killed will lessen the remaining time. This can result in a very short session if a summoned shade is helping a host kill lots of enemies in a level.

### Notes

---

- If you are a member of the Heirs of the Sun covenant, you will appear as a Gold Shade, otherwise you will appear as a White Shade. Note that the host will NOT receive a sun medals.
- Matchmaking is determined by Soul Memory and the item used. See Online Matchmaking for more details.
- Unlike the large White Sign Soapstone, defeating an area bosses does not stop the ability to see and summon from small white signs in that area.
