Born from the fusion of a dying phoenix and a rare crystal storm, this unique creature emerged as neither fully phoenix nor purely magical construct. Known as a Crystal Phoenix, it possesses the ability to absorb and reflect magical energies through its prismatic feathers. Unlike traditional phoenixes that burst into flame, these beings undergo a transformation where their feathers crystallize and shatter, only to reform more brilliant than before. The geometric patterns on its wings are actually ancient runes that stabilize its crystalline essence, preventing unexpected transformations. Mages who bond with these creatures find their spell-casting enhanced, as the bird can store and amplify magical energy through its crystalline feathers.
