Well, by my understanding, the way the Primals temper you is by flooding your aetherial essence with theirs until they resonate together.
The meteor dream always looked a whole lot like that, to me.
I don't think you have to be a "summoned by devout worshippers, can be banished" type of creature to have a large aetheric reservoir with a strong resonance capable of bringing other aetheric entities into line.
It's a conspiracy theory, yeah - but one that's hinted at by NPCs, including some of the actual Primals. I think it's fair to discuss it as a possibility.
Oh, something that just occured to me to add, though - even if the WoL isn't a Primal themself, the existence of the Blade of Light always struck me as odd. Amassing a huge amount of aether into a particular shape... (shrugs)
