okay so i am trying to get a hold of a couple phoenix feathers but do not know how. if anyone knows how i can get a hold of such please tell me. please know that i am also aware that to get such feather i might need to actually get a phoenix of my own , if this is the case i would like to know how i could do so. i am also ready to take care of it once i "conjure" it (i write it in such way because i am not sure this is what i would need to do).if you know what to do please tell me. thank you.
Sorry to break the news to you hon but Phoenix are mythical creatures from Ancient Greek literature and mythology.
Thus Phoenix feathers are unfortunately unattainable. What it most likely is referring to would be ashes, red, purple, blue, or yellow colored pre-existing feathers (either dyed or found), or even charged sunstones/feldspar.
Many scholars and historians believe the Phoenix originate from Phoenicia, Mycenaean, and Egyptian cultures and languages. This forming "endowed" colorful hued bird we think of today with feathers like the sun or flames rising from the ashes of its predecessor.
When a spell asks for a Phoenix "feather" It is most likely fallacy and will not do what it is intended. Especially if it is associated with any spell associated with transformation or summoning a physical mythological creature to our existing realm. Some believe such spiritual creatures exist on different realms/planes than ours. As they also believe they can then be summoned or communicated through by various projection methods, meditation, etc. Though with this said, you cannot easily force something you have little knowledge of, individually and personally, to be in your company on your terms or in free-will.

Vitka and Syren are correct. Phoenixes do not exist so you cannot obtain feathers from them.
However, depending on what you wish to use them for you might be able to substitute something else for them. What exactly were you trying to do? Or what spell were you trying to cast? Maybe we can help you out.
Can you just ask the phoenix you conjured to give a feather to you though it wont be physical it will be spiritual but it is highly likely you can still use this as an ingredient but it will be extremely difficult to see where it is and thus youre spell may still fail even if you throw the astral/spiritual phoenix feather in.
