A successful save attack deals 1d8 fire damage per sorcerer SPB he possess plus an additional amount of damage equal to the amount of health he gained when using this ability (from his death threshold to 1 hit point); while a failed save attack deals half. The sorcerer may use this ability once per day plus an additional time at 20th.

Bloodline Manifestation: The sorcerer becomes one with his phoenix bloodline; gaining fast healing 5 for 1 round anytime he is dealt fire damage (despite his immunity).

In addition the sorcerer may use his bloodline paragon ability to return to life even if he did not use his phoenix bloodline aspect’s empowered aura, instead dealing damage if he was healed from his death threshold to 1 hit point, but doing so uses both uses per day of the ability. In addition the sorcerer is always returned to the prime of youth (usually the start of adulthood) when using this ability, and may even use this ability in response to dying of old age, allowing him to reverse the effects of aging.
