I am uncomfortable with this. I don't know why, but there should be a reason why people don't share MP resources.

How about these:

Spirits need to be Controlled. Any fumbled Control spell cast on a crystal releases the spirit.

MP crystals and matrixes: Any MPs in a spell that originated from an individual add to the caster's own MPs for the purposes of overcoming that individual's MPs.

On the surface, the last one only stops you lending stuff to people you don't absolutely trust, but it would lead to ingrained cultural paranoia against letting go of MP storage.
