Forum:Can a monster have 0 stars?????

During a duel my opponent activated A Legendary Ocean. I control a Mystic Swordsman Lv 4, Maurading Captain, and a Water Spirit. I am attempting to synchro summon Colossal Fighter, who reqiures a total of eight stars. My main question is this: since my tuner monster, Water Spirit, is a water monster and level 1, can his level be reduced to zero therefore only giving me control of seven stars? --Whitemon 19:27, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
