If that is so, then why, in the final SMN job quest, did someone need 10 Summoner Soul Stones just to summon a more powerful egi instead of a full, actual primal themselves? I mean sure, they weren't Warriors of Light, but the power differential wasn't even all that wide. I mean, if Summoners really did have the power to summon the actual primals themselves, that power is clearly long since gone, or rests exclusively with the Ascians. There is no way I could see a player playing as a summoner being able to summon enough essence of a primal and control it unless something in the lore reveals itself, like a special focusing device or something.
