One could argue the Soul Crystal allows us that power, possibly by exponentially increasing the power of our prayer through previous owners of the crystal?

I'm not wont to think this is the case for SMNs, however. We use magic and knowledge of aetheric properties to call forth the Egis, not elaborate prayer. At least, that is not what has been going on in the job quests. Or, rather, if it has and I missed a whole lot, I'm gonna be pretty upset. :P

Now, I can wave my arms around and theorize all I like, but we still don't have enough data, despite being explicitly told in your quote, to draw and formal conclusions. Which sucks, because theorizing is fun.
