I wouldn't have automatically jumped to the conclusion that Ifrita represented a gendered concept in this game. The Amaurotines have their own names for a lot of familiar concepts from our own world, which is how I had personally interpreted this. And as was pointed out earlier, the fire concept that we can build with Hephaistos during High Concept is still the 'Ifrit' that we know. While there can be more than one possible manifestation of Ifrit, as we've seen from E6S, was there anything in this game that actually supports the claim that the two terms 'Ifrit' and 'Ifrita' are 'completely different'? Or is this just speculation based on a side game?

With regards to the earlier conversation in this thread, both the Church of Locus and the Sect of Germonique have their theories about Ultima's origins (as per Field Record 42), and the Sect in particular invoked that familiar ritual to use their bodies as vessels in Lucavi summoning (which is suspiciously reminiscent of Voidsent summoning).
