You can't really force someone who lacks either intent or conviction to repeat the feat, the closest you could get I suppose is like when Garuda made the Amal'jaa and Kobold prisoners summon their gods, (at the expense of their lives, which rather defeats the purpose for them, not that they could've known they'd deplete themselves attempting the ritual without any crystals to supplement the necessary aether.) but tthey already had both, she just gave them a little encouragement to use them.
Sacrificing oneself to summon a god to punish your tormenters would not necessarily defeat the purpose.

And I would hope that the WoL would jump at the chance to become a primal even if only temporarily. To fully understand what they have fought so often just because others told them it was the right thing to do. To realize they have been lied to and manipulated into striking down beings based on a Garlean lie promoted by ascians to stoke conflict.

There is zero evidence other than 'the garleans said so' that the Burn was actually caused by primal summonings.

Yes primals are bad cause the brainwashing, but the bs that they would kill the planet needs to be addressed in official lore and quickly.
