Like everyone's already said, everything and everyone is made up of aether. It's the building block of life on Hydaelyn. And I can actually prove Garleans are equally affected by magical attacks by others due to the advancements in Garlean armor they've made to defend themselves from aggressive magi.
Encyclopedia Eorzea Wrote:Garlean uniforms are made from revolutionary materials, such as carbon fiber and cermet alloys. The armor of Garlean officers is particularly ingenious, as it is coated with a substance that decreases aetherial conductivity, and therefor protects the wearer from magic attacks. The selfsame contrivance prevents the use of offensive spells, yet this hampers the pureblood Garleans little.
Gilded Magitek Armor Wrote:It only took a few heated skirmishes with the allied city-states for Garlemald to realize that the magicks wielded by the realm's mages were too much for even the thickest magitek armor plating. Alloyed gilding has since been discovered to dampen the effects of elemental charges and is now standard issue.
