How many elemental magic upgrades can be found in a single playthrough?

Speaking about the full game here.
I've leveled most of them to lvl3, except the wind (lvl4) and absorbtion and thunder (lvl2).

Is there any guide for the locations?

5. I think you are missing one absorption and maybe one thunder before point of no return, everything else is after.

they all get to 5 in a single playthrough, theres a guide in the guide section that shows all the chests in the game, you can use that to find the ones you've missed.
for example you may have missed the extra area you reach by returning to a previous area via shortcuts.

If you finish the game while missing any, getting duplicated in NG+ also upgrades the spells. That's how I got by wind and absorption to max lv lol

I was scouring the entire map before entering the throne room. Couldn't really find anything.
Turns out some books were after the throne room so hooray.

In the end I'm missing like two spell.

Yep, there was quite a lot of books after the throne room.

I was able to level fire, thunder and wind to max (lvl 5), while having them at only 3,3, and 4
However, I'm not sure if I missed the ice book before the point of no return or later.
