Tree points here:

1. If the character is using this much power on
spirits, then he is not using it to sacrifice for
Divine Magic or other enchantments. If he is, then you
are doing something wrong. :)

2. The power spirits are bound to the character and
thus should not be useable by his bound magic spirits
since they can not touch the binding matrix. We use
the same rule even for allied spirits (but not animal
familiars). These can have attuned crystals instead
which in turn makes crystals much more valuable.

3. As I stated in another post an attempt to release
should not triger conditions for using "breaking <>
useing".

God, I hate rule lawers :( They should all face a
firing squad of Zorak Zorani armed with heavy X-bows
with Seal Wound on the bolts.

He must really have no real life. :)
