Rulings in plain English
Only 1: Not an Ignition, Trigger, Quick, or Continuous Effect. Even if your face-up copy’s effects are negated, you can’t summon another.
ATK: If its effects are negated or it leaves the field, the 800 x materials ATK no longer applies.
Negate: Chain directly to the monster effect. It doesn’t target, works in the Damage Step, and can’t be activated below 800 ATK. The ATK loss and negation happen together; if it’s gone or under 800 ATK on resolution, nothing is negated.
