Works a bit differently than that, as far as we can tell.
Strictly speaking, the ritual just uses an immense amount of aether, including all of the caster's own. It's considered to be powered by the power of the twelve by the general populace as that is who they prayed to the last time it was used, and it was those prayers that generated enough aether for it to almost work against Bahamut. As far as we know, the twelve aren't actually involved in the ritual

And yeah, Rhalgr is the safe bet for the primal. Blood for the blood god! Can't wait until that thing bursts.
Did anyone else burst out laughing when Ilberd smacked the ground anticlimactically? Man, that should've been the ending. Splat, pithy quip, /visor, end scene.
Though there's little difference in the outcome, I'm glad the option was there - being able to at least try and stay even if we're forced to leave (much like Yda) felt appropriate.
