<p>First thing that popped into my mind was date a live because u said "the story revolves around girls with "spirits" they use to fight." And
 using a "fire spirit" but only after she accepted it in one of the episodes. There also was a smaller girl, which was firstly her rival but they became friends after some time.
The one who was the heroine didn't use a fire spirit but there was a female who did and accepted it in the series and there is also a girl spirit who uses a huge sword and the main heroine is a boy. I hope this helped</p>

<p><strong>Genre:</strong> Probably Shoujo/Fantasy or magic</p>

<p><strong>Type of media:</strong> TV show/OVA?</p>

<p><strong>Characters:</strong> Mostly girls with one main heroine and a male protagonist living in modern times (school attendance was probably involved)</p>

<p><strong>Plot:</strong> The story revolves around girls with "spirits" they use to fight. The main heroine was using a "fire spirit" but only after she accepted it in one of the episodes. There also was a smaller girl, which was firstly her rival but they became friends after some time. The little girl was using a huge sword and in one scene in park lot she cut a car in half. Apart from the girls there is also a love story involved with the main heroine and a boy. In the end they have to fight some evil villain.</p>

<p><strong>Time range:</strong> I watched it around year 2006?</p>

<p>I know this is as vague as it can get, but if someone could recognize it - it would be much appreciated!</p>

I think you need to use past tense in your question on the first line, also could you try to add more information to your question thanks [if possible].

Yes, I think the other spirits were related to elements. Also if I recall it correctly the fire spirit had a form of a white serpent? Then when she "absorbed" him, she had two rings around her wrists?
