Revelations from SHADOWBRINGERS

Heck, how did he even know there would be an Ascian there, considering the known Ascians on the First were dead?

Urianger pretty much said he was expecting Ascian interference, considering the entire reason the Exarch summoned them to the First was to stop the 8th Rejoining.

While I can agree with the mentioned comment that it could take too long to make the Auracite to risk spending it on something that may not work, unless that was specifically the case (It may be. We've only seen three of them, and with a seemingly long period of time between), there's no reason it couldn't have been tested, specifically on Titania (Post gaining Auracite, pre-Emet Selch introduction).

Granted, if it turns out either it takes a long time to make or Urianger was in Il Mheg for a lot less time than I initially thought (It's possible, I suppose) and there just wouldn't have been enough time to make a second Auracite, then the train of thought doesn't matter much. I still wonder if it could have absorbed the Light from the Lightwardens. Even taking one out that way and tossing the Auracite into the Void would have been interesting if it could have been spared.

The thing is, the testing on the limits of white auracite has already been done - by Moenbryda back in post-ARR, who was an expert in the field. It's a temporary holding mechanism, not a seal. And if you did successfully "take one out and toss the auracite into the void" then what are you going to do about the other four?

Note that until we actually took in Innocence/Vauthry's Light, we were at the time more or less in control of the Light we had inside us. There may have still been a risk of losing control, but if we only had 4 Lightwarden's worth instead of 5, it is altogether possible that, between the lesser Light and Ryne's skills, we could have planned for something more permanent. We'd have time.

Potentially, anyways.

I'm not sure if testing it on the scale of holding the Light, even for a little, was ever done or could have been done, and it rightfully could have been too weak to hold it. We'll never know, but that won't stop me from being curious about it.
