The Shard System: A deep discussion

In the past, i did some threads talking specific things about the Shard Sytem. I think the time has come [epic music on the background] for us to discuss the system more deeply.  For that, i wanted to do some comments and talk about what i think and questions i would like to see answered.
Some of those questions i did before, and i want to do it again, get over it.

MORTE HAS NO SHARD

---

It was said that, because Morte is a lesser demon, he has no shard. Considering what the Demo tells us, Shards are demon power crystalized, so, we can assume that this is a natural phemonenon of summoning a demon but Morte is so weak that his power can't be cristalized. That surely means that there will be more more like that. A category of Lesser Demons, that are too weak to cristalize their powers into Shards.
What do you think of it? All demons should have shards or, it is a good thing that Morte and Lesser Demons has no shard?


THE MISTERY ABOUT EFFECTIVE SHARD TYPE

---

All we know about Effective is it's name and color. What is the Effective Shard Type? How it will work? What command we will use to activate it? What kind of powers it will had?
It will work like Guardian Soul From Aria/Dawn of Dorrow (Holding a shoulder button to activate it or use it)?


THE MYSTERY ABOUT SHARD DATA ON MENU

---

Using Cerulean Splash as an example, we can see, on the menu, a lot of information about the Shard, that raises a lot of questions:
Level: Shards will have fixed different levels? Or we will be able to level them? How? By getting more Shards? With alchemy?
Imput: that info is there just to always remind the player how to use that Shard? Or maybe, some shards inside the same type will have different imputs?
Type: damage type. Maybe there will be shards with more than one type?
Power: general magic strength, most probably. We can change that power somehow? Maybe by leveling up the Shard, or Miriam itself?
MP Cost: MP cost can be downgraded, or raised somehow?
Quality: each Shard has a fixed quality, or that can be increased ?


BOSSES SHARDS

---

On Aria of Sorrow, most Bosses had simply souls as powers. On Dawn of Sorrow, most bosses had souls that was useful to traverse the Castle, as away to lock the player's progress until the player beats the boss. What do you think Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night should do? We can assume that one-time Bosses will most probably automatically give their Shards, but you think Bloodstained Bosses could have common powers as Shards, or most of their Shards could be traversing abilities (like double jump and such) as a way to lock player's progress until bosses are defeated?

HOW FAMILIARS WILL WORK?

---

We all know the game will have Familiars (dev team already said that the Familir name is a typo). How they will work? We will summon then and that's it? They will lave LV like other Shards and will level up?
IF they level up, how this wil happen? Getting more Shards? Some alchemy system? They will have LV and EXP like Symphony of the Night?
You think Familiars should be more interactive, like, Miriam could talk to them or something like that?

That's all folks!
