Hope this doesnt break some obscure TOS agreement I'm not aware of.

But when I said having an elemental that grows in power and size with you, I was thinking of Aion, not GW2. And this screenshot is basically what I'm referring too.

Now personally..that'd be cool. Its not Ifrit, but its still big, its still flaming (oh my!) and it still radiates fierce intensity.

Though I still like my channeling idea. Basically, as a summoner/channeler, you are blessed by each of the Primals and granted the power to call on a fraction of their essence to aid you. You exist one foot in our plane and one foot in theirs to be a medium. It creates a more intimate, God/Primal / Servant/summoner type of effect. And you can continue to call on that Primal's power for enhanced abilities, big Ommph hits. Whereas the FC's have to go back and refight the Primal every-single-time they want to reacquire it. And more than that, they lose privledge if they dont use it within a set time. But thats just my thoughts. I like thinking OUT of the box.
