Ditto. Definitely interested, good read, got me hooked. 

Questions:
- What magics will be available for play, through the use of spirits? (I'm assuming, mostly, elemental)

- I immediately thought of a character like Red XIII (FF VII), when i read that certain animals have the potential to become guardians. Will we see any of these animal Guardians at the academy and are they playable? (Mostly for future reference, for a secondary character)

-How many spirits will we start with? (I'm 99.9999% the answer will be 1, but it doesn't hurt to ask lol)

Great.

The typical elements you'd find in some final fantasy games will be included. They can also be combined to form more specific magics. However, abstract things such as time bending will not be available.

While animal Guardians exist, they're few and far between. There will be one at the Academy, a big timber wolf. I haven't thought about the extent of his involvement, though. Meeting another animal Guardian down the road is also possible.

Guardians possess thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of spirits, but only a few actual manifestations of magic. I'm not going to set a definite number, but 3-6 is a reasonable number of different magic attacks (to begin with) that your character is able to do.
