It is quite possible, that the Warrior of Light will learn how to reverse tempering in time. We still don't know the extent of the WoL's powers.
Note that both Nael and Lousoix had the grip of the primal relinquished off them, The canonicity of that might be questionable but I believe that the effect of tempering can be removed
