Bahamut Tempered T9 and T12 bosses, all primals can temper, maybe the weakest ones can't because they need some strength to gain control over someone but there isn't any distinction to make between the primals, it's always the same, a revered soul takes form through ether, being a being of pure energy and will it's obviously easy for them to mind control physical beings.
