I've been re-watching a few scenes regarding Primals recently and found out something that didn't add up.

Given that, right after we fought and defeated Garuda, she (along Ifrit and Titan) got absorbed by the Ultima Weapon, how is it possible that we could perform the Austerities of Wind at all?

I thought that once a Primal was absorbed by it, it couldn't be summoned again (so it acted as both, a prison for their essences and additional power sources for the Weapon itself).

So...even though, she was trapped at the time (considering that job quests may or may not have happened during the same time-frame as the main scenario), could there still be some of Garuda's essence for us to confront and obtain her Egi?
