Edgar has a book. This does not exactly lend itself to physical confrontation.
However, as I have discovered, there is always a work-around. Edgar, like most book-carrying characters, is a spellcaster, and this opens up a wide variety of techniques for him to use, ranging from illusion, to flat out explosions. I've gained a lot of inspiration from Zexion in both KH RE:CoM and KHII: Final Mix, but I think the one with the most influence would be a certain tome-carrying anemic from the Touhou series: one Patchouli Knowledge.

The comparisons are easily drawn. Not only is she a flat out area nuker, but she is casual and nonchalant, wearing the same facial expression Edgar would be wearing, one that screams "Are you quite done, yet?"
Also, as shown in this video, she does, in fact, smack the shit out of people with her book if they get too close, though this is obviously not the best method of defense; rather, an act of desperation (and in my eyes, thoroughly comedic). If I were to have Edgar do the same thing IC, it would have to be with the consent of the person on the receiving end that it would do ridiculous damage and be thoroughly spectacular, or do absolutely nothing at all and send Edgar fleeing as the enemy runs after him, smacking the ground with an obscenely deadly weapon.

But back to KH for a moment; if Edgar were given the chance to pull off some amazing stunts with his book, I would definately draw on my experiences with Zexion in KHII Final Mix. The man just fucks with you, and the book becomes more than a blunt weapon; it becomes a tool of curses and utter frustration.

Trapping your opponent within your book is a stretch, but I like the idea of an impractical weapon that becomes a major threat to your health by messing with you in bizarre ways.
