Jade Phoenix Cheatsheet+Constant Effects+Stances+Firebird Stance

At 6th level, you learn another application for a stance you know. While you are in a stance from any discipline you know, you can forgo its normal benefit as a swift action to gain the effect of firebird stance. This ability lasts as long as you would maintain the stance, or as described below. You can also stop using firebird stance and resume gaining the normal benefit of the stance as a swift action. While this ability is active, you gain resistance to fire 10, and your caster level when you cast any fire spell increases by 3. In addition, you can choose to expend an arcane spell slot when you activate the ability. If you do, you gain an aura that deals 1d6 points of damage per spell level to any creature within 10 feet (Reflex half, DC 14 + key spellcasting ability modifier). Half the damage dealt by the aura is fire, and the other half is raw arcane energy (untyped damage). The aura deals damage each round at the beginning of your turn. Once you activate this ability, the fiery aura lasts for 1 minute, after which time the effect ends and the normal effect of your stance resumes.
