A '''phoenix''' is a guise into which a player can transform to temporarily increase their own combat abilities.

== How to transform ==
* To become a phoenix, you must use a [[Phoenix Glyph]].
* To remain in phoenix form, you must "eat" 2 [[creature food]] every 30 seconds (twice as much as a [[mule]]).
** To "eat", you must keep creature food in your inventory. It will be consumed automatically. Unlike normal [[food]], creature food can be consumed on a [[Special Days#Day of fasting|Day of Fasting]].
** If you do not have enough creature food in your inventory when it is due, you will transform back into your normal shape, requiring another phoenix glyph to become a phoenix again.
* To return to your normal form, remove all remaining creature food from your inventory and wait, or click yourself with the pointy "use" finger.

== Benefits ==
(Is the math for these benefits correct? Is there any benefit at level 0, or do all benefits start at level 1?)

* <code>+(phoenix_level)</code> attack
* <code>+(phoenix_level)%</code> chance to dodge hits, added to the 5% default chance and the [[Evanescence Perk|Evanescence]] chance (if you have that perk).
* <code>+(phoenix_level)</code> fire protection. (against what? heat or [[Fire arrows|arrows]]?)
* <code>+(5 * phoenix_level)</code> chance to be ressurected in addition to the [[Special Days#Day of the Dead|Day of the Dead]] effect. (What does this mean? Do phoenixes always have the Day of the Dead effect, even on ordinary days?)
* If the player casts [[Magic Immunity Spell|magic immunity]] before shape-shifting, the spell will not wear off while in the phoenix form.
* If phoenix level is 5 or more, [[True Sight||True Sight]] will also not wear off if cast before shape-shifting.
* Based on the level, there is a chance to not get a [[cooldown]] when using an item.

== Leveling ==
To view your level, "look at" yourself with the eye mouse pointer while you are in phoenix form.

To reach phoenix level 1, you need 800 creature food. This is increased by 100 creature food per level. For example, phoenix level 2 requires 900 creature food. (What is the maximum level?) Therefore, the amount of food required to advance a single level (from the beginning of your current level to your next level) is given by the following formula:
<!-- use "math" tags around this instead of "pre" if possible (test in preview) -->
<pre>food = 100(next_level + 7), where 1 <= next_level <= (Put the maximum level here)</pre>

The total amount of food required to advance to a desired level, starting from the beginning of your current level, is given by the following formula:
<pre>total_food = 50 * (desired_level(desired_level + 15) - current_level(current_level + 15)),
where 0 <= current_level <= desired_level <= (Put the maximum level here)</pre>

== Capabilities ==
* Can interact with objects: 
** Change [[maps]]
** Talk to [[NPCs]] (e.g. stores and storage)
** Drop and pick up bags
** "Use" items in the usual way (e.g. [[rings]], [[food]])
* Can fight. (Can be attacked on PK maps by other players!) ('''Do phoenixes receive a/d experience?''')
* Cannot use [[Magic]].
* Cannot [[harvest]].
* (Possibly) Cannot use [[Potion of Speed Hax]]. (confirmation needed)
* (Possibly) Cannot mix items. (confirmation needed)
* Cannot wear [[clothes]], [[armour]] or equip items in general. In fact, you cannot transform into a phoenix if you currently have items equipped.
* Cannot trade with other players using the trade window.
* Cannot sit down. If you were sitting when you transformed into a phoenix, you might have to disable "sit-lock" in the options window before you can fly.
