I mean, she definitely plays a part in making Sephiroth what he was even before he was dipped into the Lifestream, but in the game she's mostly a symbol of his otherness for him rather than a real necessity or source of power. The implication that comes across is that he acts through her as a proxy, not the opposite.

For example, there wasn't a "Reunion" impulse in Sephiroth to go back to her in the backstory; he operated on his own until he stumbled upon her by chance and shit hit the fan. The Reunion during the events of the game is driven by Sephiroth waking up in his resting place and setting his plan in motion using the convenient logistic advantage of the "freebie" minions he has around due to Hojo's experiments.
