phoenix feather
Firebird's shed filament
A phoenix feather is a feather from the mythical bird that cyclically dies in flames and is reborn from its ashes.
In fantasy literature and games, phoenix feathers often possess magical properties—healing, resurrection, or as wand cores in the Harry Potter universe.
The rarity and power of the source creature makes them prized magical components: The wand contained a phoenix feather at its core.
