It's stated that strength of a primal is related to the strength of the summoner's belief as well as the available aether. Thordan was like Shiva, in that he turned himself into a primal using mainly the aether stored in Niddhogg's eyes. I don't know if he was tempered (as it's never stated he had the Echo), but I'd say he didn't really have the level of faith in his idea of Thordan as tempered people do. The second time we fight Lakshmi, it's not that we really need her, it's that we're busy trying to protect everyone else.
