Spirits are used as
Elemental Damage / Resistance
Adding a Spirit will increase the item GS and provides elemental animation to your hero.
Currently Spirits are not an important part of the game but soon they will become the most precious assets, to quote "My Precious".
Spirits are having the same color classification for rarity and power as the other items - see
http://ggnbb.glu.com/showthread.php?124837Spirits Types
There are Spirits that makes elemental damage and Spirits that offers protection / resistance from elemental attacks.
Fire / Ice / Lightning / Poison
As Spirits are not required in this version of the game I cannot tell how they work and what is the relationship between elements.
Weapons, rings and talismans can be equipped with Elemental Damage Spirits
Armor items can be equipped with Elemental Resistance Spirits
How to add a spirit
In the UPGRADE option of each item you can find the Socket option, as below:
To be able to place a Spirit on any gear item first you have to Drill the item.
Notes:
To create a Socket you need 1 Drill or 50 gems (fix price regardless of item type).
Inserting a spirit costs coins.
Removing a spirit costs gems.
Destroying a spirit is free of charge.
How to get Spirits
In this version of the game Spirits can be obtain only from Offering - Tributes:
Citizen Tribute gives grey and green
Senator Tribute gives grey and blue (not fully sure about blue)
Tokens from map quests, daily quests, tournaments, daily login
Jeweler Tribute gives blue to gold (gold small chances)
Buy with gems – 900 gems – 10 tokens
NOTE: Drills are currently not available. To drill you need to use gems.
Spirit stats & evolving cost
In the below picture you will find the % effect for each type / rarity, GS provided and evolution cost.
Combine / Upgrade Spirits
Spirits can be upgraded by combining a certain amount of one type to
ONE Spirit of next better quality.
When you have the required amount of Spirits requested for evolution use the
Combine option to enhance their stats. Spirits can be upgrade using coins or gems.
IMPORTANT – Using coins you have 100% chances at combining spirits.
Combine Spirits sounds like math to me ... we all love math !!!
Check the figures below (if somebody can’t understand them please let me know)
Do you like this math ???To get the Spirits faster you have to spin lots of tokens (using gems) at Jeweler Tribute than upgrade the Blue ones with coins and the Purple ones with gems.

Go to inventory, select "others" and then the slot containing said spirits. In the lower middle of your screen you should see a field with "Combine 10/10" (or the requisite number). Hit it and pay the fee. Then you get one spirit of the next higher category, e.g. 8 green spirits give you one blue spirit.
