Phoenix Sorcery
Your power draws from the immortal flame that fuels the legendary phoenix. You or your ancestors perhaps rendered to phoenix a great service, or you were born in its presence. Whatever the cause, a shard of the phoenix's power dwells within you.
That power is a mixed blessing. Like the mythical creature, you can invoke fiery energy and gain the ability to cheat death itself. East power comes at a cost The fire within you seethes, demanding to be unleashed. You sometimes find yourself absentmindedly feeding fires. You can not bear to allow a fire to sputter out. You feel most comfortable while holding a lit torch or sitting in front of a campfire.
Such sorcerers are wanderers by necessity. The volatile nature of their magic makes other folk nervous If a fire breaks out in town, a phoenix sorcerer had best flee, whether guilty or not. Fire is a dangerous force, and phoenix sorcerers have a reputation (deserved or not) for reckless behavior, confident that the essence of the phoenix can save them.
