Some of it -- if their common magic happened to be charms, fetishes, or spirits, they keep them [p. 108].

>you want a more powerful spirit you have to get a new one ?

You can't improve a charm or fetish (note the "N/A" in the chart on p.140). You can however improve a common magic charm.

>3. How many Charms & Fetishes could a character that starts the game
>as a Practitioner start with ?

As many as they want to describe in their 100 words, plus 5 Common Magic...

Galan gained 5 spirits in charms when he joined the Brilliant Visions Tradition (p.134). A new practitioner gains a practice spirit for free (p. 136). So a new character would have at least 6, plus the 5 Common Magic and any additional ones they describe or list.

A spirit ally returns right away.
