The Twelve are essentially Man's equivalent of the beast tribes' Primals, right down to their need to feed on aether relentlessly just to maintain their forms. This isn't true (at least to my knowledge) for the Ascians... what makes them so different?
That's exactly what the Scions wonder about in the MSQ when they compare the Ascians to primals. The answer seems to be, "they have a safe zone in between us and the Void that they retreat to." As for the means (the "how"), it's not expounded upon pre-2.5 to my knowledge.
tl;dr: Ascians are somehow an exception via DARK MAGICS, whereas nearly everyone else plays by the same rules.
