Usually this is an intentional process, but some primals (such as Ramuh) have shown distaste for it, implying it is a natural byproduct of their summoning (as only the sylphs who partook in Ramuh's summoning were tempered by the Lord of Levin). Once summoned, primals can ' temper' other beings, instilling fanatical loyalty and creating a secure wellspring of faith. A primal can also be summoned into a structure or be created in the image of their namesake. While usually an embodiment of the summoner's desire, there are cases where the summoner transforms into a primal. The aether can also be acquired via other tools, such as the enigmatic horn and tablet stored on Seal Rock, or the eye of a great wyrm. Unlike the Ancients, the new races that now inhabit the world have little aether, and the ritual requires an ample supply-the most convenient being crystals. They developed the technique of primal summoning and taught it to beast races in the form of praying for the aid of their deity, altering the process to revolve around faith rather then conception. Three Ancients who survived the sundering with their souls intact-Emet-Selch, Elidibus, and Lahabrea-reformed themselves as the Ascians to conduct Umbral Calamities to restore their original world. The pair's conflict sundered the world into the Source and its thirteen shards. This forced the Convocation of Fourteen to summon Zodiark to avert the Final Days and Hydaelyn from Venat and her followers to imprison the former, both being products of a mass sacrifice. When the Final Days of Etheirys occurred, the Ancients' creation magick was warped as their fear-driven mental states caused them to unconsciously bring to life monsters based on their imaginings. The Ancients, possessing vast amounts of aether in their being, possesses creation magick that enable them to manifest beings from aether. Due to the nature of their existence, a primal must consume aether from its surroundings, thus becoming a threat to the world. Primals are constructs of concentrated aether made manifest by the will of the summoner in the form of legendary figures or mythical creatures.
