Bloodnote (Carrier Phoenix)

Call forth the spirit of a fallen hawk to seek out the sender and confirm message/package delivery or a milestone complete. The summoned Phoenix cannot be dispelled, captured, caged, or damaged and is untrackable by magic.

Bloodnote* Ritual:  Requires Firebird Parchment, Flamequill, and Blazing Ink. Dip the barbs of the Flamequill in the Blazing Ink. Dip the writing tip in the Blazing Ink. Set the barbs on fire. Write the message on the Firebird Parchment before the quill is extinguished. The message must start with the recipient's name and end with the sender's name and a mark of their blood. The message must be spoken aloud while writing it. When the last word is scribed, the author speaks the word "Aborda" and blows out the quill, allowing the smoke to wash over the parchment. The lettering with glow red upon successful ritual completion, creating a Bloodnote. 

*Bloodnote Kits can be purchased from most reputable apothecaries, alchemists, and enchanters. Purchased kits includes instructions for completing the ritual above, which can be done by any character with an intelligence of 11+. Wizards, Warlocks, Sorcerers, and Rangers (6th level) can craft Bloodnote Kits for personal use or to sell. Kits includes a parchment (Firebird Parchment), feather quill (Flamequill), and ink (Blazing Ink) derived from the carcass of a single hawk. 

Bloodnote Activation: The Bloodnote's recipient - and only the recipient - burns the note which calls for the phoenix spirit, who emerges from the flaming note, consuming it. The phoenix flies directly to the sender. The flaming bird will perch near the sender and will not dispel until the phoenix and sender have locked eyes. The spirit will then flare, flash, and spark before turning to ash. If the sender cannot be reached, the phoenix will lay in wait until the sender becomes available. If the sender is dead, the phoenix will dispel seconds after being summoned from the Bloodnote. Instructions for when to burn the message should be included in the written message or be understood by both parties prior to creating the Bloodnote.
