The Armour of Salamander (Scale of the Fire Dragon) was equipment Vulkan had forged himself, and the Adeptus Mechanicus had supplied him with secret ancient technologies and rare materials.
The armour's self-repair system was a technological relic supplied by a Sage.
These fanatical worshippers of technology had boldly used technology they did not understand, providing Vulkan with a compact nanorepair device of unknown origin.
As the Primarch followed the Emperor on his campaigns, Vulkan gradually revealed his Warp traits.

Modules like this had many flaws, the greatest being that each repair depleted their own reserves of Nanomachines.
Without replenishment, they would eventually cease to function. This was a very
