I will grant that Shiva and Thordan were definitely a departure from the norm on Primals though that has a lot do with how they are summoned. Using something like that can still be a bit iffy because they go against a lot of what we know about primals and have seen no other examples aside from those two. Is it impossible? No. Is it likely? Not really. As for the white auracite the only issue I can really see with usung it is that SE seems to not be able to agree with itself on that one. It can hold primal energies but the question becomes how much. Its very much stated that a soul of an ascian is too much for it to hold indefinitely. That said I can agree that it can hold some enrgy from a primal but doubtful in the means that are being looked at here. Honestly I wish we knew more about it, because just from how things are written in the msq I get the feeling that is far from a common mineral.
