All Ritual Summons are considered a Special Summon. However, not all Special Summons are considered a Ritual Summon. A Ritual Summon can only be performed with a Ritual Spell Card and a Ritual Monster. A Special Summon refers to any monster that is placed on the field in a way that is not a Normal Summon, Flip Summon, or Set. Also, Ritual Summons are never considered a Normal Summon.
No, Raviel is what is known informally as a 'nomi' monster, meaning there is 'only' one way to summon him, and that's to follow the instructions in his text. This kind of monster can be identified by the text "Cannot be special summoned except by", and these monsters can't be summoned by Monster Reborn, even if you properly summon them, and they are then destroyed.
No, the monster is not being summoned in any way, all that is happening is that its controller changed.
No. If a monster says it 'cannot be special summoned except by', then the listed method is the only way it can reach the field. By default, this summon is from the hand too. So, even if you properly special summon Dark Armed Dragon, and it goes to the graveyard, you cannot special summon it using either its own special summon effect, or the effect of cards like Monster Reborn.
Monster Gate can special summon them. They are normal summonable monsters, like any regular Lv8 monster. While there is a way to special summon them using Pyramid of Light, that's only an option - they can be special summoned in other ways, such as Monster Gate.
You are allowed to use Monster Reborn and similar cards, under most circumstances. The important thing is that the Synchro Monster must have been properly special summoned first. If the Synchro Monster ever goes to the graveyard without being properly summoned by Synchro Summon (ie, Starlight Road can do this) then the Synchro Monster cannot be revived like that. Similarly, if a Synchro Monster had its summon negated, it also can't be brought back from the graveyard. Last thing to consider is some might say "cannot be special summoned except by Synchro Summon" meaning the only way to summon it is by Synchro Summon, there is no other way, even if it was properly summoned first.
A "Special Summon" refers to a Summon that is performed through the effect of a card. Special Summoning is not a game mechanic, but more so a generalization of any method of Summoning that is not a Normal Summon, Flip Summon, or Set. Special Summons do not count towards the one Normal Summon/Set per turn rule and can be performed as many times as a player prefers in one turn.There are three methods to Special Summoning (Note that a Special Summoned card that does not fall under any of the following categories, such as with the effect of Call of the Haunted, is merely considered a Special Summon):Fusion Summon - This Special Summon is performed upon the effect of Polymerization (unless otherwise indicated by the Fusion Monster).

For more information regarding Ritual Summons, click on the corresponding "Related Link" below.Synchro Summon - This Special Summon is similar to a Contact Fusion and can only be performed with Tuner Monsters. For more information regarding Synchro Summons, click on the corresponding "Related Link" below.Exeed Summon - This Special summon is a new way to summon that people in japan can already use. Exeed summoning is performed by placing two monsters with the same level on top of each other and then you can summon an Exeed monster with the same rank as one of the monsters level. EX: I place a level four monster like ax raider on another card with the same level like maurauding captain and I place the Exeed monster which is rank four on top of both cards.For more information on Special Summoning, click on the "Special Summon" "Related Link" below.
A special summon is any summon that doesn't count as a normal summon, so you can special summon as many monsters as you wish per turn. But someone can't just special summon a monster by themselves. In order to special summon a monster, there must be a card that lets you do so. For example, the card Call of the Haunted lets you special summon a monster from your graveyard. Or, a monster that lets you special summon it in some way is a special summon. Most monsters that let you special summon it have you need to have destroy or remove from play cards. For example, a monster that needs you to remove from play cards is Dark Necrofear. Dark Necrofear can only be special summoned by removing three Fiend-type monsters from your graveyard. Or, there are monsters that can be special summoned when a condition is met. For example, Tragoedia can be special summoned when you take damage. Or, there are monsters that let you special summon monsters from your deck. An example is UFO Turtle. UFO Turtle can special summon any FIRE-attribute monster from your deck with 1500 ATK or less when it is destroyed by battle. Also, Fusion Summoning, Ritual Summoning, and Synchro Summoning all count as Special Summoning.
No, Advance Force lets you Tribute Summon a Lv7 or higher monster. Tribute Summoning is a form of Normal Summoning, so the summoned monster is one from your hand. It in no way allows you to start pulling monsters from the Extra Deck - it can't special summon at all.
No, because Flame Wingman says it cannot be special summoned except by Fusion Summon. When a monster says it can 'only' be special summoned a certain way, then this is for the initial summon only. If you summon it properly using that method, you can later resummon it from the graveyard with cards like Monster Reborn. However, some say they cannot be special summoned 'except by' a listed method. For these, this is the only way they can ever reach the field. Even if you summon them properly, you still can't summon them back to the field. Flame Wingman is an 'except by' monster, so Monster Reborn would not work on him, and neither would De-Fusion.
Generally, the only way to Synchro Summon is by sending monsters from the field to the Graveyard. There may be some cards that allow you to Synchro Summon with cards from the hand, such as Eccentric Boy, or Special Summon a Synchro Monster with cards from the Graveyard, such as Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor.Eccentric BoyAttribute: WINDType: Spellcaster/Tuner/EffectLevel: 3ATK: 800DEF: 200When using this card as a Synchro Material Monster, the other Synchro Material Monsters is 1 monster in your hand. The Synchro Monster that used this card as a Synchro Material Monster cannot activate its effect, its effect(s) is negated, and is removed from play when removed from the field.Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of HonorAttribute: DARKType: Winged Beast/Tuner/EffectLevel: 1ATK: 800DEF: 0If this card is face-up on the field, you cannot use it for a Synchro Summon. If this card is in your Graveyard, you can remove from play this card plus 1 non-Tuner "Blackwing" monster in your Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 "Blackwing" Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck whose Level equals the total Levels of the removed monsters. The effect(s) of that Synchro Monster is negated.Note that this is treated as a SPECIAL SUMMON, not a Synchro Summon.
