  Basalt Pheori Aelves still possess some degree of fire manipulation and can often still conjure small flames or embers.

They often compensate for their lack of pyromancy abilities by developing other skills or honing their physical prowess.
  Basalt Pheori Aelves are respected for their experience and wisdom, as they have often lived for centuries and have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and skills.
