Summoner's Job Evolution

[Ryuko]

I'm sorry, but the game's "lore" is a poor excuse for why summons are the size of lalafells.

You may not agree with it, but it makes sense in the game's lore. Again.

Egis are made from the same source as Primals, but they are not made from the Primals. It's like their creation is tapped from the same energy.

The beastmen call upon that energy to create the Primals, and because they have been collecting power and revering them, the primals have grown to have a mind of their own. They have grown large, incredibly detailed, and cannot be controlled. They are like gods that are given power through the people who believe in them. It is why the 'primals grow stronger when the beastmen are upset'.

A summoner is just one person. We tap upon that same energy, and what we come up with is an Egi that is much smaller and not as defined as the larger primal. It looks more like energy than a living being. In your storyline quests, you quell the Egi that has been created from this energy to make it your own. You need to conquer it to control it. According to the lore, you would not be able to handle anything more without it corrupting you (like the primals corrupt the beastmen) or overpowering you (like the primals have a mind of their own)... which is why I say it may change in the future, but it is not how it is going to be for now. The Egi must be weak enough to obey your every command.

I'm not telling you what you should or shouldn't like. You can tell me you don't agree with it -- but it makes sense. If you want to argue that the game's lore should be changed and the current summoner is not summoner enough, then that is another story.
