Poltergheist Y shard ability seems very good to me. Puts up a defensive shield. solid damage, tanks hits, auto breaks walls/torches.
Half the time Im running around with squeaky shoes letting my painting shield do all the work..
Got the armor familiar, but then got a book one. Book one gives me a str buff. Im not sure how effective each does in direct combat.
Bow dudes drop a targeted multi projectile like the firecannon shot. same deal, can shotgun pretty decently.
basic weapons seem weak, compared to the special stuff.
that Rhaval Burel or whatever. great. as said, super fast, can move while attacking. short range.
flying sword. great. throws out far.loops up for a second hit, and will hit way above you.
Any other fun stuff? the crimson glasses, or whatever that mention making everything seem big, zooms in the camera, when you wear them.
You'll play the piano if you sit at one.
