An Egi by Any Other Name

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Having read through Y'mhitra's research on summoners, Thubyrgeim requests your assistance with an experiment in the guild's practice area.
* Thubyrgeim theorizes that you may be able use the technique required for summoning egi to alter the appearance of your various egi. You succeed in summoning an Ifrit-Egi that takes the form of a Ruby Carbuncle─marking the experiment a success! Thubyrgeim bids you head upstairs once more to discuss the implications of the experiment.
* An enthused Thubyrgeim tells you that this experiment suggests there may still be much to learn about arcane entities. She bids you farewell and encourages you to make use of your newfound ability.
==Objectives==
* Wait for Thubyrgeim in the guild's practice area.
* Speak with Thubyrgeim.

Thubyrgeim 	Well, if it isn't [Player Name]. Precisely the woman/man I wished to see.
Thubyrgeim 	You will recall Y'mhitra of the Sons of Saint Coinach. Well, she has recently finished compiling her research into summoning, and was kind enough to send a copy of it to our guild. I was pleased to note that you are listed as a collaborator.
Thubyrgeim 	I must say it is quite a fascinating read, especially the section covering those essences of primals called egi. You are able to manifest the beings, yes?
Thubyrgeim 	Wonderful. In which case, I should like your assistance with an experiment. If you are willing, pray join me in the practice area. I will reveal the details there.
Thubyrgeim 	Pray go on ahead to the practice area. I will reveal the details of the experiment there.
 	
Thubyrgeim 	My apologies for the wait.
Thubyrgeim 	To begin with, might I ask you to call forth an egi? I should very much like to see one with mine own eyes. Mayhap the Ifrit-Egi would be suitable─I understand that it was the first such being to be summoned.
Thubyrgeim 	Yes, a most impressive being indeed. Created, according to Y'mhitra, in the image of the entity which one most closely associates with fire: Ifrit.
Thubyrgeim 	It is my hypothesis that the same fundamental principle could be employed to alter the form of an egi, by calling to mind another image.
Thubyrgeim 	Pray summon the Ifrit-Egi again, but this time focus your consciousness upon Carbuncle. It shouldn't be difficult, given the bond you share.
Thubyrgeim 	Brilliant! My theory holds!
Thubyrgeim 	Whilst it takes the form of Carbuncle, there is no mistaking its aetherial composition.
Thubyrgeim 	I should not imagine that the abilities it wields have changed─for all intents and purposes, it is still an Ifrit-Egi. But now we know that there is no limit to an egi's appearance.
Thubyrgeim 	Well, I must be returning to my post. Let us continue this upstairs.
 	
Thubyrgeim 	[Player Name], you have my thanks for indulging me. This experiment has unearthed a new world of possibility for arcane entities, and I hope you will find use for the discovery.
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
==Etymology==
 Egis in Final Fantasy XIV function as partial summoning of Primals, based on their residual essence.
