I think you're underestimating the natural anatomy of most life in Lore. Even with magic taken from them, many creatures in Book 3 retained their intelligence. Even Sneevils would retain their anatomy, as the spell upon them only initiated the mutation - their physical forms are set in stone.
Dragons would still be able to talk, their organs would still be fireproof, they'd still have the liquid inside of them that helps them turn the spark into fire. The only difference is that the spark would no longer have elemental changes, so it would be a natural fire...albeit a far cooler one.
Stating there'd be a slave trade is going a little too far. It's true that some races may wish to partake in it, but those would be Drakel, Vampires, and other races that have already sought to enslave people before. I highly doubt the gnomes would, especially since their technology only runs on magic in the first place, and partially because they're peace-loving.
I think you're all taking how the elemental planes work out of proportion. All the elemental planes do is supply greater strength to elements in Lore, unlock their potential, and regulate the balance between them. I'm pretty sure Lorians would already know how to make a campfire; the difference is that the fire might last longer now, burn brighter, and be warmer than it would without magic.
What Lorians would need to worry about are things like natural imbalances in nature that the elemental planes can no longer stop, like ice ages, endless hurricanes, acid rain, dust bowls, and various other major defects.
