Eidolon extraction

Eidolon Extraction
During Final Fantasy IX Eidolons (Summons)are forcefully extracted from Princess Garnet. Zorn and Thorn can be seen attempting the extracting ceremony twice in the game, firstly they call forth eidolons from Princess Garnet, apparently this is so Queen Brahne can make use of her daughter's eidolons to take over the nations of Cleyra and Lindblum. Later in the game they attempt to steal Eiko Carol's Eidolons for Kuja but they are unsuccessful. The extraction process can only be properly executed when the subject is 16. Zorn and Thorn appear to dance around the subject untill the spell is finished.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Garnet is captured and imprisoned by Zorn and Thorn when she returns to Alexandria to reason with her mother about her recent attack on Burmecia. Queen Brahne lies to Garnet and Kuja then puts her to sleep so the extraction can begin. Zorn and Thorn appear to know which Eidolons Garnet can summon as they refer to Odin by name. After Garnet loses her Eidolons she is unable to use them in battle untill the party encounter Ramuh and she learns Judgement Bolt.

Later when the party is at Kuja's Desert Palace Eiko is captured. Kuja and the twins escape on thh Hilda Garde to Esto Gaza, the black mage army, kuja, Zorn and Thorn then enter Mount Gulug where they intend to extract her Eidolons as Kuja says he needs an eidolon more powerful then Alexander.

However, They fail to extract Eiko's Eidolons. At first Zorn and Thorn state that the ceremony can only work when the subject is 16 or they risk endangering her life. Mog then appears and attacks the twins, preventing the ceremony from going any further, Mog goes into trance and tells eiko to summon Terra Homing it is then revealed that Mog is in fact the Eidolon Madeen who became Mog to protect Eiko.
