It's not their soul, it's their aether, when you kill a primal the soul go backs to the aetherial plane while the aether goes back to the earth and all living being, that aether is, like most aether, aspected, aether can change it's "frequency" it can be fire, earth, wind etc... When you defeat a primal you receive some of their aspected aether, it has the "frequency" or "DNA" of the Primal, that's why you can summon egis of them, but you don't trap the soul of the Primal. Egis aren't primal, they are soulless.
