I was thinking more along the lines of there being some manner of other primal-like entity that's tempering the wardens somehow, though auracite also seems plausible given that the Heart of Sabik was implied to be far older then even the Allagans and perhaps all these shenanigans came about as a result of Lahabrea's initial tests on it.
