Under certain circumstances, with very different cults, yes, I think it
would be good RP for them to refuse. "No, I am NOT putting the power of
Death into your sword - you may be my best mate, but you're not responsible
enough to be trusted with it."

Yes. It isn't normal, it shouldn't be normal. It's making a point about the
group to use it. "Look how much those guys trust each other - they lend each
other magic!"
