Ah, the firebomb guy, I know exactly where that was at. The nice thing is, you learn to be careful there next time.
You stay in soul form unless you defeat a boss or use a stone of ephemeral eyes.
The rapier is pretty weak on most enemies, I ended up using a falcoin for most of my first playthrough, but whatever you feel comfortable with is good. Continued good luck to you...
