(Thaleia Spoiler) It's weird that...

The reality of grammar, however, is that nobody will misunderstand you if you say "who" when a "whom" would be prescribed, and the use of "who" in places where "whom" is prescribed is not going to disappear from the language any time soon, so "who" is also fine to use.

I know that nobody will misunderstand the wrong choice of form. That's not the issue here.

The issue is the claim that choosing different forms between "[entity 1] whom she prayed to" and "[entity 2] who she fought" will tell you something about the differing natures of the entities, which it does not.

I put the one sentence in two forms to show that it is sentence order and not meaning that affects which one is used in a situation.

It's goes well beyond what a primal is capable of. Primals for example use their influence to temper those of worship, making them lose their free will. The WoL does not need to do this. Those who fight and support the WoL do so of their own accord, because they believe in him/her so strongly. And as I pointed out earlier, there really isn't a true void to fill in the absence of the Twelve.

Just a quick one though, primals do not need to do this either. The only reason they do is that the ascians taught the tribes corrupted versions of summoning magic, thus forcing them to temper.
