Okay so then spirits still have individuality and personality, but you don't have a constant pool of them. Like your friendly fish water one who you grew up with or anything like that. They come and go as you gather them and they are expended by way of points in battle? 

Or am I still waaay of the mark lol

Spirit points is just a translation to make the game system work. It has nothing to do with the actual lore. To explain it better: a spirit with a very distinct personality and form that interacts with you would be a collection of many spirits that have stayed with your character for a long time. It's unlike that it would leave unless it was abused by you. But, you are right in that tiny, individual spirits come and go all the time. It's when they congregate and merge with each other that they become larger, more powerful, and attain clear personalities.
