So it is immoral to destroy them, but moral to effectively leave them bound forever to an object. Hmm... I'd prefer an end.

I find servitor use rather dangerous if left without destroying it after sometime, and honestly, I stay away from it and stick with my organic spirits.

You may think now that it is "immoral" but you won't when it starts acting like a wild animal with human intellect. What damage it does is on your head at that point and no one elses. Servitors are still an extension of you, whether you "disconnect" it or not. Disconnecting it only breaks its direct link to you, but it lives because you created it, regardless of how you look at it. It will develop aggression, jealousy, and territorial behavior. It may even learn how to lie. People rarely create servitors with morals in mind (programming it with morals), and even if they did, the servitors are not conditioned with social cues as we are (which keep us "behaved"). What we create eventually becomes chaotic. What prevents us from being chaotic is societal conditioning as well as the order of the soul and depending on your belief, the web or links that tie us together and influences our lives.

To prevent a servitor from gaining a personality, in which case you may feel bad about destroying it, I would suggest deconstructing it after it does it's job and reconstructing it when you need it again. You should not give it time to develop at all. Another choice is to not allow it think for itself and give it a single job with perfectly clear orders, much like a computer programmed robot with one function. The down side to this is that it will only be as good as its instructions. As soon as you begin to treat it like an independent individual, it will develop as such.
