I was thinking the other day about how the events of Shadowbringers would affect a summoner and it got me thinking.
Currently, egi's are created from attunement and exposure to a primal's aether. The summoner then internalizes that aether and then combines it with their own to create Egi's.
Trances are the channeling of primal aether in the ambient atmosphere to utilize their abilities. Lore wise this method was developed to overcome the limit of holding 3 types of a primal aether within a person.
Demi Summons seems to be an amalgamation of both the Egi and the Trance method. We can Summon Demi Bahamut by utilizing the residual aether from a Dreadwyrm Trance. For firebird and Phoenix though no explanation is given, I suspect exposure and attunement to this aether comes from the calamity, and we gain some residual phoenix aether from using Bahamut and Dreadwym respectively. This is why we can use both trance and Demi phoenix simultaneously. Though as mentioned this is more my headcanon rather than established lore fact.
which then leaves the question given that we absorbed and internalized every Lightwardens aether, post Shadowbringers in theory, should we be able to call Demi Titania, Demi innocence.
How does our merger with Ardbert affect our capacity to hold more aether? For me I suspect that demi Innocence or Demi Titania would be an amazing addition to our arsenal. (Or at some point if we ever get egi/demi Glamours - id been thrilled)
Anyway what do you all think?
