So fiery was Fëanor's spirit that when he died, his body was consumed by flames and nothing remained but ashes.

From Quiz Fëanor - the Greatest of the Noldor

Answer: Aulë

Aulë the Smith was the Ainu who created Adra. He was most connected with the substance of the earth, and his lore ran deep. The Noldor studied long under Aulë, but none more than Fëanor, especially through his father-in-law Mahtan.
