It seems to converge with what we already saw with the Scion's white auracyte that they used to 'capture' the soul of ascians in order to destroy them. It seems to be able to serve as a very strong prison for aetherial things (like ascians souls, primals, etc). Barring that white auracyte holds similar properties then, and that those weapons wielded by Cuchulainn and his peers probably sucked primals to the point of holding them captive (but slowly seeping out), it also could mean that ascians probably are infinitely more powerful than standard primals since Nabriales was about to break out of this white auracyte shard in a few minutes only.I wonder if it's possible that it could be a direct reference to the Zodiac Stones (later called auracite in War of the Lions, if I recall correctly) in Final Fantasy Tactics. I think I mentioned either here or somewhere else a joke theory of mine that each of the different worlds are actually each one of the worlds of the various Final Fantasy games - and Ivalice is FFT/FFTA/FFXII so it fits in the list.
Note: just musings and speculation.
