The Elantrian members of the Ire are not able to use [[AonDor]] in their fortress due to the location-dependent nature of Selish magic.{{wob ref|3407}}{{wob ref|1473}} However, the fortress has a thick, brightly glowing conduit that leads into the distance; [[Kelsier]] is able to sense that this conduit connects to a source of power on their planet, presumably the [[Dor]].{{msh ref|5|2}} The conduit seems to provide the power that the Ire need to fuel their Elantrian physiology,{{book ref|Elantris|19}} as they appear to absorb the glowing light directly from the walls of the fortress.{{msh ref|5|2}} [[Preservation]] describes them as those that "died, but did not", and classifies them differently than Cognitive Shadows like Kelsier.{{msh ref|3|3}} Their residence in the Cognitive Realm also affects the way that they age.{{wob ref|718}} All of the members are worldhoppers, and based on the number of guards in the fortress, they seem to be able to bring other people into the Cognitive Realm.{{msh ref|5|2}} A female member of the Ire has the ability to place wards on magical objects to conceal them from detection by a [[Shard]].{{msh ref|5|3}}{{msh ref|6|3}}
As a group, the Ire are highly [[cosmere]]-aware and use terms like [[Fortune]], [[Connection]], [[Realmatic Theory]], [[Cognitive Shadow]], and [[Adonalsium]].{{msh ref|5|2}} They were aware that there was something happening to [[Devotion's Perpendicularity]] before the [[Reod]] occurred;{{wob ref|5783}} they were not on Sel during the Reod, but it affected them in some way.{{wob ref|10476}} They have some knowledge of manifestations of [[Investiture]] on other [[Shardworld]]s, although they do not always know all the details.{{wob ref|134}} Their outposts on other planets and subastrals may contribute to this knowledge.{{wob ref|13199}}{{wob ref|13060}} [[Ruin]],{{msh ref|6|1}} [[Preservation]],{{msh ref|3|3}} and [[Harmony]]{{wob ref|13199}} were all aware of their fortress. Cosmere scholars [[Khriss]] and [[Nazh]] indicate that the Ire's knowledge far surpasses their own.{{msh ref|3|2}} The Ire communicate with other cosmere scholars and worldhoppers in [[Silverlight]], although they are fairly isolationist. Khriss believes that they may be hiding secrets about Sel and have denied her repeated requests for collaboration.{{au ref|sel}}
