There are no innate magical abilities, so this is unlikely.

Soulblighter didn't try to disrupt the cycle. It was supposed to be dark. If he had won, it would have fixed things.
Also, don't forget that Balor's unit type in TFL explicitly said he was the leveller.
I think it was the head that screwed things up. I'm not sure what exactly he was trying to do, but breaking the cycle seemed to have been part of it. Without his interference, the light would have lost in a year or so.
