Do shining charm combos actually exist?
Salubra (The charm lady) mentions that certain charms like each other, and will shine when used together, encouraging using different sets of charms. I haven't encountered anything like this in my various charm sets, is it something that was intended, but not implemented, or am I not using the right sets?

Defenders Crest+Flukenest= Mini flukes turn into one giant Fluke that explodes into DoT gas cloud.
Defenders Crest+Glowing Womb= Minions turn into a different color and have stronger explosions.
Defenders Crest+Spore Shroom= Generate big fart cloud around yourself while focusing for huge DoT.
Unn charm+Spore Shroom=You get mushrooms on slug form.
Quick Focus+Unn charm= Move fast in slug form.

There's probably more but here's what I've got so far.

So these all rely on charms I don't have yet? Figures.
Do they actually shine, though, or is it something you have to just try and see if it has a bonus?

They really exist? ... I didn't even notice. Time to try some combinations.
And I got this one "Defenders Crest+Spore Shroom= Generate big fart cloud around yourself while focusing for huge DoT." by coinsidence, but didn't know it was a combination :D

I guess we can chalk up another thing to the defender's charm for non-obvious uses, then.

Hiveblood + Joni's Blessing = Blue Honeycomb HP

Grubberfly's Elegy + Joni's Blessing = Grubberfly's always active

Pretty sure this one is bugged. After I get hit gubberfly stops working for normal strikes, but still does for up or down slashes.

So guess what happens when you try to extend your nail using both Mark of Pride + Longnail?

You start attacking an invisible fall during your sword strikes, which seem to hit in two locations now, and you actually bounce yourself backwards. I'm going to nickname it Zweistrike.

I used both of those my whole playthrough since I got them ~2 hours in and I have no clue what you mean, pls explain?

I don't know how I can possibly explain any better than literally telling you what I observed happening.

The sword was striking two points in the air with two hit visuals, one which was striking an invisible wall in the air which causes me to bounce backwards a bit on every swing into empty air.

That's odd. I used them both together for quite some time and that never happened.

Yeah, same. Either a glitch or interaction with another charm Kyutaru was using
Can you reproduce it at all?

In the first place do Mark of Pride and Longnail even stack.

Ans:no. Tested and check the range of the hitbox. They are the same as Mark of Pride.

Similary do Both the charm that increase your soul when you hit stack?

Ans:no. Tested and found the amount gained is same with the highest equipped

Lastly, The charm that increase spell dmg increase the hit box of all the pells by 50% and increase dmg by +1 dmg. i.e you get fatter and bigger worms

I actually tested the two charms together over by the bug that sells the Fragile charms. By getting off the bench with a "Left" press, you'll be aiming at a background corpse, who's immobile body offers a good source of testing the range of at least the swing's visuals. In my experience, the actual hit lands slightly beyond the visuals.
If it didn't work for you, maybe you also suffered some sort of glitch like Kyutaru did? The two charms are supposed to add/multiply together, not create two separate hitboxes.

My own testing found that they DO stack, the reach is further...

There's even a picture (which I can't find right now, annoyingly) on the internet that shows the different lengths screen capped.
