Crimson Queen Soul Breaks Attack Speed Cap

I recently got one of those new Root Abyss souls to play with and the Crimson Queen one immediately caught my eye.
[url=http://i.imgur.com/bg3zIOz.png]Here's the skill description, taken directly from the game.[/url]

As stated, it will provide [b]one[/b] of the buffs from the list of:
-Attack Speed Increase
-Attack/Magic Attack Increase
-"MHP/DEF" (Max HP and defense?)

Additionally, it states that it will provide another buff based on the Queen's "mood." Though, I believe this to be a grammatical issue in the way the skill description is worded.

However, after playing with the soul for about an hour [b]I've noticed certain unexpected outcomes from the buff skill.[/b]
[url=http://i.imgur.com/PkBU8Fx.png]Here are the actual buffs I received from using the skill.[/url]

And observations of these skills are as follows.
-It seems that the simple Attack/MAtt buff is pretty significant--if I had to guess I would say 40~60 Att. This however is a very rough estimate.
-I don't know whether or not the HP bonus is static (IE: +2000 HP) or %-based (IE: +10% HP), but I saw an increase of 3057, from 81060 to 84117, or about 4% my max HP.
-[b]There is a drain skill offered.[/b] Edit: I need to test this skill on a character who doesn't have inherent Drain.
-[b]The Attack Speed buff breaks the soft speed cap.[/b] It works like an MPE Green potion.

[b]TL;DR:[/b] Queen soul can break attack speed cap [b]or[/b] provide drain for 100 seconds. It's a good soul. With each cast you have a 75% chance of getting a good buff, with a modest cooldown.
The skill description is iffy, don't believe it to be 100% accurate.

Will it replace your Magnificent soul summon? Probably not.
Is it a good alternative until you can obtain one? Hell yeah.

And as a bonus, here is Von Bon's [url=http://i.imgur.com/VbAes5g.png]crappy Soul attack skill.[/url]

I have gotten soul shards from normal.

Still waiting to see the other souls and what they do.

[quote=ArchM0onL]Is that affected by buff duration IA?[/quote]

Clocked in at 100 seconds exactly.
I have about 20% duration atm, so guess not

Also, if anybody can test the Drain capabilities of this soul, I'd highly appreciate it!

As a cannoneer, this makes me cry tears of joy. That attack speed is helpful (I would hope?)

This makes me wonder what the other souls give.
