Zodiark may have been created to be "the will of the star," capable of rewriting the laws of reality... but that's what his creators wanted him to be, and as we know primals aren't the real deal (i.e. Shiva is not a recreation of Saint Shiva as Ysayle intended; she's just what Ysayle believed Saint Shiva was / is like). The Ascians call Zodiark "the will of the star," but whether he is in sooth is... arguable; and if the Ancients couldn't endow their creations with souls, why would a creation of theirs be able to?
I presume the Ancients could endow their creations with souls, otherwise how would they procreate? They had children with souls. If they can't procreate then who was their creator? I imagine the trick Zodiark would have to pull is being able to format the already existing soul into a previous incarnation. Rewriting the laws of reality might mean manipulating the souls in the Lifestream? -shrug-
