Primals are literally thought given form like when the ancients created living creatures from their imagination to fill up Etheirys with life. Since everyone has that innate ancestry in them, albeit diluted, if enough of them get together along with a bunch of crystals to replicate the incredibly dense souls the ancients had, they can still imitate this power and that is where primals come in. Ascians dumbed down the creation process and taught people the wrong way on purpose so their creations were always fucked up and hungry for aether instead of being able to obey commands or simply live independently without causing loss of life or enslaving their summoners.
