The phoenix is a legendary magical creature. They are renowned for their unique life cycle of immortality. When a phoenix knows it is near the end of its life it will create a nest of tea leaves, herbs, and sweet smelling barks. These nests are in the highest altitudes. Once completed the dying phoenix will ignite itself in flames turning its nest into a fragrant pire. From the ashes a newly regenerated phoenix chick will emerge.
Phoenixes have remarkable magical properties. Their feathers make excellent and powerfull wand cores.
The phoenix’s song holds a nearly hypnotic quality being heard more from inside the heart than the ears. They also can produce healing tears that cure even the most grievous wounds.
There are variations of species in phoenixes. Pictured here is a Chinese Phoenix as opposed to the more popularly known Western Phoenix characterized by their gold and scarlet feathers.
