here are a few of the things i have seen this do. anybody know what it is where its from and how much its worth? and if its attuned or not?


Crafted out of sleek, translucent crystal, the sphere depicts a haunting image of a rising phoenix, its flamed wings and long, regal body fashioned entirely from a spectral blue sapphire. Though its shades are of winter, the skillful cuts made throughout the intricate statue impart a dazzling inner fire to the jewel, each facet a multi-hued mirror of ethereal beauty. A fine, silver scrollwork base holds the sphere in place, its delicate construction a perfect compliment to the piece.

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.

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

The deep blue phoenix circles the area lazily, trilling quietly to itself.
You turn the sleek crystal sphere, admiring the glimmering facets of the phoenix statue within.

The deep blue phoenix trills a soft melody, its ethereal song mirrored by the twinkling motes of flame within itself.

The shards of violet sapphire within the deep blue phoenix swirl and shift of their own accord, twinkling like stars within a miniature cosmos.

The deep blue phoenix circles the area lazily, trilling quietly to itself.

The deep blue phoenix hovers quietly in the air, the bits of violet sapphire within it tossed about in a whirling vortex as its internal inferno rages with deep sapphire light.

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.

The deep blue phoenix is a creature of pure wonder and beauty, its slender, elegant body wreathed in flames of spectral sapphire hue -- its feathers rustling in an unfelt breeze as they shed tiny motes of glowing blue that dance upon the air like fireflies before fading away. Its gemlike eyes regard everything with a curious nature, and it moves as if it were a painting in motion, constantly redrawn and rendered beautifully upon a living canvas rather than anything of this world. The icy flames swirl about it in lurid spirals and intricate halos as it flows on unseen currents of air, letting loose delicate, barely heard trills that twinkle lightly on the air. Within the nebulous, translucent body of the phoenix are shards of blue sapphire, roiling throughout its flames and tossed about to catch the light in odd, glimmering angles as they whirl heedlessly in a ethereal dance of beauty within the majestic creature.

The deep blue phoenix flaps its wings gently, revealing glimmering sparkles and intricate silvery whirls traced throughout its spectral feathers.

The deep blue phoenix hangs in the air, the sapphire flames lapping across it wavering along its feathers.

The deep blue phoenix swirls and whirls about playfully, the shards of blue sapphire within it leaving motes of multiple hues as they whisk along with the fiery bird.

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.

They're attuned, although I wish they were not.

It's a gift for attending one of the events. I can't remember which one though, maybe Phoen's?. But they are stupidly annoying, which is why you never see anyone using them.

There's no functional value to it. It has some fluffy scripts, a lot of idle scripts, it will follow you around but there's a lot of areas where it can get "stuck."

The phoenix was given out as an attendance gift for the 2005 Foehn's Promise auction, also called Solstice Dreams. They are attuned, as mentioned. There are a few more verbs to interact with it (I believe wave as one of them), but its lazy scripts fire off really fast.
