Garleans with the third eye are pure blooded, and pure-blooded garleans can't manipulate aether. One of the plot points in Garlemald was how magic was seen as so alien and terrifying to the garlean citizens because they could not do it, and it does not have a root in their culture as it does everywhere else.

The only ""magic"" they've been capable of producing came as the byproduct of horrific scientific experiments (zenos), and by making pacts with voidsent (reapers).

Also garleans largely just use the elezen model with rounded ears, not exactly an exciting new race. Would be better to just have it as a cosmetic item
