After talking with a FC mate.... "killed" in the sense that it's currently not in used, but after looking through combat logs and various stats, it seems it's all there just not actually doing anything. Spells still say the element type and if it doesn't have an affinity, just there is no... reaction to that info.

Maybe one day it will come back but I won't hold my breath.
