Notes

• This is affected by Boon Duration and  Lingering Magic. Boon duration is based on the ranger's, not the pet's.
• Source must be from yourself or other players, boons from NPCs do not count in most cases.
• Does not activate and apply boons to yourself again when merged as a Soulbeast (would be an infinite loop if it did).
