Sounds like Materia from FF7. To borrow an element from FF6 as well, you could have spirits be the holders of ancient knowledge. They may infuse objects with these arcane secrets, or perhaps the spirits themselves can be bound to an object. The latter could be pretty interesting... a wizard may have to negotiate with his grimoire before casting a spell!
