Could be too, but I still think that Lucy and her spirits would be able to overcome this initial inhibition, considering that even though it might hurt the absorved spirits, ultimately it's for their own best.

Besides, with Natsu there, they'd only have to help block Franmalth's movements and could let the Dragon Slayer do the hurting part.
