The primal Shiva isn't actually 'Saint Shiva' though. It's noted a few times that Iceheart still had full control of her body after the summoning (so she was basically just wielding a weapon) and since Saint Shiva was a regular mortal the form the primal took clearly wasn't her either. The primal Iceheart summoned was no different to Moggle Mog in reality; a myth made manifest, though in this case the myth was based on a real person.

The situation with Midgardsormr is different. The Ishgardians don't fear him being summoned, they fear him being resurrected.

It's possible they could summon a primal version of Midgardsormr but then the Dravanians would have no need of his old corpse in silvertear...
