Being tempered by a primal fundamentally alters an individual's mind.Â
I didn't want to comment on this thread earlier because my initial reaction to it was less than favorable. I sort of did this:Â
However, after getting over that flicker of nerd rage, I feel that I would like to applaud and thank Nat for bringing this up and developing a take on it that's rather unique. A man-made primal tempering a person, it's unique and fresh. (I assume so due to the character's wiki page history, yes...I looked at it for moar info)
In that regard, if my assumption is true then go with the best possible aspects to compliment your storyline! Enjoy!
As to the lore, each tempered is autonomous, yes. However, there's an obvious change in that the will of the primal guides them. Usually (in game), that guidance is to find a way to summon the primal to the material plane or do something the primal wants done.
Cheers!

Yeah I probably should have mentioned the tempering wasn't by one of the Lore primals, but by a player character. I made this thread about the Lore primals though, so I could get some context about what tempering actually does. Since obviously the player and I are figuring this out as we go, I'm trying to use the actual primals as a base.
The actual player in question was an attempt to make an artificial primal, by imbuing a mortal embryo. So the whole needing aether to manifest and such doesn't really apply too much, because she has a physical body.
