Totemic druid summons resistances?
So here's the deal: I'm playing as a totemic druid and I really like their spirit summons. Though wikies say they are immune for certain effects such as instadeath or level drain (my druid is lvl 12 btw). But they are not - liches make them die instantly via "death" spell and they lose levels (I don't think there should be "spirit lion: level drained" if they are immune). Is this normal?
And does someone know about spirit animals and domination spell? Because it works on them too.
P.S. Really love them. So far 3 of them annihilate almost everything.

General effects
All four creatures are immune to these spell effects: panic, poison, sleep, fatigue, petrification, confusion, beserk, charm, hold, slay (instant kill), level drain, stun and morale modifications.
Also they all share 100% resistance to cold, electricity and magical cold and are immune to normal weapons (those not enchanted).

And they are immune to almost everything from this list but that doesn't include instakill and level drain.

So, they must be immune to Level Drain and, at least, during my run through BG (http://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/30553/the-tale-of-the-totemic-druid), they were. They must be immune to domination as well.

As for the Death Ward, they indeed have this effect but the thing is, the Death Ward in the EE doesn't protect summons from an insta-death. It's not a bug but an intended behavior: http://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/comment/614504/#Comment_614504
