It is likely a case that Ultima, which is a spell that we know came from an alien being who got stuck on the world, is an Astral aka light aspected spell. Which would make it, and thus the Ultima weapon, able to function as a catalyst for the 8th rejoining. Enough power pumped into it an he could wipe out entire city states to cause the start of a calamity that would cascade from there that might have destroyed all of Eorzea.
