I dunno. I feel like Emet-Selch might have been able to light Athena up if she didn't somehow prevent him from casting. He had that whole being "beloved by the underworld" (i.e. truly monstrous levels of aether) thing going for him. It evidently made his magic oppressively powerful even by ancient standards. Venat, on the other hand, had the benefit of being ludicrously skilled with a sword. I doubt she'd have been a slouch in the aether department either considering the fight she put up as Hydaelyn despite at that point having only her own supply left.
