Based on what people have said I've decided to proceed fully with the mental effects of tempering. Since my character was already incredibly devoted to the being in question, it won't cause much immediate and direct change in her actions. It is more changing why she makes those actions, before it was out of love and affection, now it is because she is compelled to do so. In my own way I'm trying to make it as impactful as possible, despite the fact that the being who did the tempering is about as good aligned and compassionate as one can get.
As for reversing it... I'm not sure. It quite possible won't get reversed. However Natalie wasn't tempered by a "real" primal, and instead more of a garleans/ascian science experiment. If we do decide to reverse the tempering through RP, I don't think that contradicts anyone's lore, since this is a rather special case.
Not sure she was as devoted as tempering would her. Natalie have a boyfriend? Now she doesn't, she only cares about her Primal. Natalie have friends? Now she doesn't, she only cares about her Primal. Like her job? Now she doesn't, only likes her primal. Tempering makes you completely unable to care about anything else. It's that level of devotion.
But what if the primal also care about all those things? I'm trying to balance the complete devotion with the fact that the primal want's my char to do all those things.
The being in question, who is tangentially related to primals, but not exactly one, is as devoted to my char, as my char was to her. What happens when the primal's will is for you to be independent and happy?
