People without the echo or the blessing of light have slain primals before. With that being said, the ways in which they accomplished this were creative, and even then resulted in the loss of life and/or tempering of a great portion of the assaulting party.
Summoners are possible as well, you needn't be the personal slayer of the primal, just close enough to it when it was slain that you felt its aether wash over you and could attune to it.

Finally, your character needs to be old enough and have had enough time to have reasonably mastered a highly complex ancient art as well as been there at the site of one or (multiple) of these slayings.
