The Phoenix is the metamorphosis of spiritual Fire ka. It is swift and judgemental, terrible in its administration of that which is just. Fire is the element of destruction; Phoenix destroys, but like its mythological namesake, its destruction serves a "higher good." Phoenix, unlike its counterpart Djinn, looks at the big picture, forms a plan, and acts. It is not sentimental. It is not forgiving. Phoenix are often judges, administrators, generals, and churchmen. | ||||
