So, I've been doing a lot of Golden Sun fights lately (cause, you know, I'm a fan and I want to see thier forums a bit more active, as you do), and I noticed something as I've been looking over the pages and trying to make good matchups and pairs.
Haures is listed as the main example of Golden Sun characters interacting with Non-Corporeal beings...but he's not THAT special compared to the rest of thier arsenal.
I'm assuming it comes from Haures' description that says he "sunders darkness", and he proves it during his summon where he literially shatters the darkness he comes out of. Super cool, I won't lie, it's a great summoning sequence.
But almost EVERYTHING in the GS arsenal can interact with the various ghost and spirit and otherworldly foes across the games. Psynergy attacks of all sorts of elements, other summons, Djinn, even just clubbing them with maces and staffs. And most characters have access to Soul Manipulation, which is normally a way to target non-corporeals in the first place.
And, ontop of that, there's really no special situation or lore reason Haures should be considered special. Sure his animation and description are pretty cool, but he's never a required summon to kill some sort intangiable foe the gang was walled by, be it ghosts, lost spirits, souls, ect, hitting them with a sword is just as effective in every senario.
I think we should remove the "(Can harm Non-Corporeal beings with Haures)" section from the GS profiles, to avoid any confusion where people might think that's the only way the GS characters can interact Non-Corpoeral opponents.
