Just a random thought on the gaining of spirit magic. You go on to the plane where the spirit lives, and fight it, gaining a power from it if you win, right? Doesn't this sound awfully similar to HQ contests: as ZZ, you beat up Yelmalio and steal his Fire powers, for instance. Obviously gaining spirit magic is far lower-level, but is the difference one of degree or of kind?

I wonder: if you try to learn a new spell, and fail, what happens? Does the spirit take a spell away from you?

Quite a few spirit spells in divine cults are from cult heros, aren't they? Do you have to take on the hero in spirit combat in that case?
