The WoL's aetheric signature has to be really complex (and unique). Start with our base Aether (including whatever comes from our classes and jobs), add in the effects of the Blessing, Echo, and whatever Midargsormr is doing to us, the 6 Crystals of Light we have, traces of every Primal we've slain (15 at this point), some of Hraesvelgr's Aether (we have to have retained a tiny bit from when we absorbed his Eye briefly), and whatever else we happened to have absorbed and kept (probably some of Nidhogg's Aether from killing him and using his Eye, traces of Ysayle's Crystal of Light, scars from Ascian and Primal attacks, and so on)

I'm sure Y'stola (and anyone who can sense Aether) can "see" us from malms away...

In other words, if they were a Primal, then she would had easily noticed? That seems to be the consensus when it comes to debunking that theory.

On the other hand, as Cilla mentioned Eikonic beings beem to be Deified objects, so on the one hand it is still possible that the WoL could be an Eikon in the future, but on the other hand such a possibility is highly unlikely unless Zurvan and Sophia were Deified people rather than Deified objects. If they are still objects made deiform entities, then I would have to agree with Enkidoh that "WoL being a primal" is on the "Ain't gonna happen" list next to Unfettered FL queues and FC Primal Summoning

Yes. Primals have a very unique signature that we do not possess. Also take note that the Archbishop and Ysayle did not have it when Thordan and Shiva were not summoned.

Yeah, lore-wise there's basically no chance that the WoL will willingly become a Primal. I'm not going to completely discount the possibility that we are forced to play host to a Primal (like Ysayle and Shiva) in order to defeat the Ascians...but the chances of that happening are basically non-existent.
