While we in the RPC do generally say "play what you want," this kind of character is basically being set up to be hunted down by a lot of the active characters playing military in Ul'dah. I'd caution against, unless that's the kind of thing you're going for.Going by the Story, the only ones (to my knowledge) that felt a Primal's presence was Limsa Lominsa with Titan's quakes. Ifrit was only found out due to the Hero of Light being sent to investigate disappearances out in Thanalan. (Though to be fair, it was at this point where both Ul'Dah and Gridania knew Ifrit and Garuda had already been summoned. Titan was purposely trying to bring down Lominsa, and Leviathan, who we could assume was also already summoned at this point was MIA.)

As good as these questions are, I'm not versed enough in the lore to actually have, what I believe, is a reasonable opinion, and I'm actually starting to run out of possibilities on how this could work because of how good these questions are, lol.
You're still gonna be sucking aether out of the land like a junkie. Â There isn't a single example of a primal existing without stripping aether out of the land. Â It's a huge downside of their existence and is the reason there are immediate efforts to put them down.
And this is the one Problem I cannot figure out how to get around. Crystals are easy enough to get in small quantities and could potentially act as a supplemental mask (I think), but the consistent purchase of crystals will most likely raise questions eventually. (However, as an adventurer, the Warrior of Light gets a metric shitton of 'em)
