    The war of the magi came as a result of Allagan Summoners consuming Aether into their body and transforming into Primals. From that Summoners believed they were gods incarnate and tried to take over the Allagan empire which was the start of the war of the magi. The Allagan empire ordered those priacticing the Summoner Arts to be killed and afterwards only a few Summoners were left and the art died out. Lorewise the Summoner would pawn every job.

    You are entirely misrepresenting that explanation. The Summoners weren't even around for the War of the Magi. The War of the Magi was fought between the nations of Mhach, Amdapor, and Nym and their militaries which consisted of Scholars, White Mages, and Black Mages, respectively. What Y'mhitra explains is that there were evil Summoners who misused their power and used it to rule over other people instead of to put down primals and defend the realm. This led to a collective bias against Summoners, even the good ones, as everyone came to assume if one could summon, they were going to use it to rule others. Then came the summoner hunts (which sound like witch hunts and probably were much the same). That's what Y'mhitra tells you.

    Correct if I'm wrong. I'm new to the lore forum so I keep making some mistakes, but the Allagan empire fell one or two umbral eras before the War of the Magi. Like Wyrah said, you just mixed up the two thing.
