A summoner can cast summoner spells while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. Like any other arcane spellcaster, a summoner wearing medium or heavy armor, or using a shield, incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component.

Does a Magus or Summoner incur arcane spell failure when wearing a chain shirt combined with a light mithral shield or a mithral buckler?
The way I see it there are two ways to read it.
A. The Summoner does not get ASF for light armor and the shield has 0% ASF for a total ASF of 0%.
B. The Summoner is using a shield and therefor incurse ASF, the total ASF is 20% from the armor + 0% from the shield, for a total of 20%.
Which way is the correct way to read it?
