They use sparkflickers to start fires with those dark, crystalline fingernails and some kind of oil, which makes bursts of flame in the air. They also wear sparkflickers as a kind of ornament without real martial application aside from their more practical use. For example, Havarah, Dalinar's bridgelord - of mixed descent - did not wear a sparkflicker.
