View comparisonHow Phoenix relates to each House, by Realm.
Phoenix explores transformation of an existing situation: identifying what to retain, what to release and how to rebuild. Renewal can be modest and practical. The identity does not presume trauma, crisis, resilience or an ability to heal other people. Spark creates a new possibility; Phoenix transforms an existing one. Dominion concerns accountable direction rather than change itself.
