Ethereal deep blue phoenix

The ethereal deep blue phoenix was a souvenir item given out at the Solstice Dreams - Foehn's Promise event in 2005. It is an attuned pet housed in a silver-based sleek crystal sphere that is worn around the neck.

An additional phoenix was raffled at the Treasure Trove portion of the August 2019 Duskruin Arena event. It is housed in a verdigris bronze-based polished glass sphere.

Putting a gem on the phoenix will change the creature's tail description.

Interactive Scripts

Phoenix

• Put <gem> on phoenix

You hold out your hand, and the deep blue phoenix whirls slowly, the spectral sapphire flames engulfing its wings burning brightly for a moment as it lifts the sapphire from your hands, bringing it to its beak as its frigid eyes study the angles of the sapphire intently. And then the tiny jewel floats *into* the semi-translucent form of the phoenix where it explodes, sending shards of the sapphire across the ephemeral bird's body. The flames around it build higher and higher, until the sapphire is no more, and the appearance of the phoenix appears drastically changed.

• Tap

You make a tapping motion with your fingers, and the phoenix trills a delicate, haunting melody that rings with crystal-like tones.

• Pet

The phoenix swoops down over you as you reach out towards it, and you lightly stroke its soft, illusory feathers -- the flames bathing your hand in an eerie blue glow as they blaze and writhe in pleasure.

• Hold

As you raise your hand, the deep blue phoenix swoops down and swirls about it in a frenzied spiral of flames, the sapphire inferno roiling about your outstretched hand before it dies down.

• Wave

You wave your hand through the ethereal form of the phoenix, and miniature whorls of blazing blue flame trail coldly along your fingertips.

Sphere

• Stare (when phoenix is not out)

You stare into the depths of your sleek crystal sphere, but don't note anything unusual.

• Stare (when phoenix is out)

The phoenix dives and swoops in elaborate circles around you, as if drawn to the sphere in your hands as you stare at the elaborate sculpture within the confines of the glass. As it swirls and dives, it let loose a shrill, piercing cry, the sound resembling an echo long ago heard. The scuplture within your sphere begins to take on the icy blue hue of the phoenix, and soon the illusionary bird fades away entirely, its ephemeral form drifting away on an unseen current of wind as the statue in your hands regains its shining beauty once more.

• Rub (when phoenix is not out)

You rub the sleek crystal sphere, and within moments a blue fire races across the crystalline surface of the statue within, flickering and burning with a pulsating radiance. The surface of the statue ruffles with ghostly, spectral feathers as the glow rises up from within the glass, shining with the icy hues of frigid snow-capped mountains. The silhouette of a fiery bird rises upwards from the sphere and takes shape, the twin blazing orbs of its eyes reflecting a miniature world of blizzards and raging storms.

And then the silhouette dims slightly, revealing the form of an ethereal deep blue phoenix.

• Rub (when phoenix is out)

You have unleashed the essence already!

• Turn

You turn the sleek crystal sphere, admiring the glimmering facets of the phoenix statue within.

• Tilt

You tilt the sleek crystal sphere from side to side, creating a miniature blizzard against the glittering statue within.
