Making a soul crystal was speculated to be a process very similar to making materia. THe crystal soaks up parts of the memories and experiences of the wearer, which then resonate with future bearers. ...so it's entirely possible that there could be soul crystals out there for currently unknown jobs or positions. (tinfoil hat: What if Nanamo has a "Rulers' Soul Crystal"?)
