Another Summon History Q

How does Summon History interact with Imbued? And can it really interact with them?

Summon History
Type: Action
Requires: Temporis
Cost: X blood
[tem] Search your library and/or ash heap for an ally, retainer or equipment whose cost is X or less. Put that card in play (on this vampire and with starting life from the bank as needed).
[TEM] Search your crypt and/or ash heap for a non-scarce vampire with capacity X or less. Put that vampire in play, with no blood.

Even if you have a imbued in your ash heap, they are crypt cards in your ash heap and not allies. Too bad because Imbued having no cost, the dictatrix would come in play with 6 life and a nice special.
So short answer is : does not work

While you can't locate your Imbueds in your library since they are crypt cards, the inferior version works with Imbueds (=ally) in your ash heap.

Superior specifically targets with (non-scarce) vampires so that is a no-go.

They're allies and ally cards in your ash heap, as well as crypt cards. Ditto, vampires are both "vampire cards" and "crypt cards" in your ash heap.

Correct.

Imbued are allies.
Imbued cards are ally cards.

It is also, for example, possible to use Compel the Spirit (NEC) and Resurrection (OBE) with Imbued. (Those are the versions that move from ash-heap to in-play, and not hand.)

James, hate ti interuppt, but your post does not really explains point of my question... How does this card interact? Or - Can I summon imbued and under what conditions?
