Does the "cannot use equipment" from "Drawing Out the Beast" cancels passive effects like having [SER] from a "The Book of Going Forth by Night" or only effects that require the player to actively use them?

If it applies to the minion, and is not a restriction (cannot
hunt), then it is "using" it.
