All of the shard abilities are really boring. I never use them. I don’t find them useful or interesting. Some of them are really bad looking as well which doesn’t help. All of them need to be ditched and start from scratch. Here are just a few ideas for shards that can buff weapons or summon creatures.
Fire Shard: add flame graphics to your equipped weapon. Chance to ignite the enemy on fire. Drains mana on proc
Ice Shard: add frost graphics to your equipped weapon. Chance to greatly slow enemies movement and attack speed. Drains mana on proc.
Poion Shard: add green bubbly graphics to equipped weapon. Chance to apply poison to enemy causing small amounts of damage over time. Drains mana on proc.
Necrotic Shard: add a gray dusty smoke emitting from equipped weapon. Chance to turn enemy into a pile of dust. Drains mana on proc.
Ninjitsu Shard: ability to throw shurikens
Wolf Shard: summon wolf to fight by your side. Significantly drains mana while activated.
Skeleton Shard: summon a armored skeleton with sword/shield to fight by your side. Significantly drains mana while activated.
Infected Zombie Dog: summon zombie dog who bites enemies with chance to turn bit enemy into zombie. Significantly drains mana while activated.
Vampire Shard: summon bloodsucking vampire bat who flies around sucking blood from all enemies within 7 meters. Significantly drains mana while activated.
Snake Shard: summon poisonous snakes who bites grounded enemies with high chance to inflict poisoned status. Significantly drains mana while activated.
Etc....etc.....etc.......
there are are lots of other cool things to summon as well such as spiders, zombie bear, black crow, plain zombie, scorpions, etc......

First of all, I disagree about them being boring. They have a nice variety to them. Asking for them to be ditched and for them to start over is just unreasonable.
As far as your suggestions, seeing that we haven't seen the Effective, Enchantment and Familiar shard categories, maybe there is something like what you are looking for already planned.

From what I gather, the first four these would probably fall under the "effective" category. Which we do not currently have anything for.
As for the Ninja shard, we already have ones similar to it in the "directional" category.
And again, there are multiple "summons" already in the game. Including summoning Bats and Zombie Dogs(Called Gieremund), we also have Bugs, Toads, Ghosts, and even a flying pig!

no offense, but your ideas, while not bad, feel rather uninspired and bland to me.
