If she expended a lot of her power to help defeat bahamut in the calamity, then that would explain why she's been so weak since the beginning of the main story. It wasn't apparent because she wasn't exactly doing much at first, but I do believe here strength has been waning for a while - since the calamity even.
Nope ,


It's the twelve, upon disappearing they gave all their aether to Louisoix so that he can stop Bahamut, that made him a primal, the same way Louisoix gave his remaining aether to Alisaie and Alphinaud before disappearing.
