Limit Break (Su)

Fireflash (Su)
At 4th level, Phoenix causes his foe to burst into flames. He can make a ranged touch attack, hitting a foe up to 30 feet away. The subject takes 3d6 points of fire damage and the target must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + half of the summoner’s level + Phoenix’s Charisma modifier) or be inflicted with Blind status for 1d4 rounds. This consumes 2 MP from the summoner. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 2nd level spell (Knowledge: Planes DC 19).
Ashen Blight (Su)
At 6th level, Phoenix creates ash to erupt around his foes. All enemies within 30 feet of Phoenix suffer the effects of it and the ability functions like the spell Blindga, as the black magic spell. This consumes 3 MP from the summoner. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 3rd level spell (Knowledge: Planes DC 21).
Healing Flame (Su)
At 8th level, Phoenix manifests a scared flame beneath his foe up to 30 feet away, dealing 6d6 points of damage (half holy, half fire) and heals himself for half the damage dealt. The target must make a successful Fortitude save (DC 10 + half of the summoner’s level + Phoenix’s Charisma modifier) to take half damage and Phoenix does not gain any hit points. This consumes 4 MP from the summoner. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 4th level spell (Knowledge: Planes DC 23).

All creatures within 30 feet of the avatar take 12d6 points of fire damage and must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + half of the summoner’s level + Phoenix’s Charisma modifier) or be inflicted with Blind status for 1d6 rounds. This consumes 6 MP from the summoner. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 6th level spell (Knowledge: Planes DC 27).
Flamestrike (Sp)
At 14th level, Phoenix is able to cast Flamestrike like the spell. This is a spell-like ability and consumes 6 MP from the summoner.
