Fire the incubation vessel in the spouts of flame in Arlyxir's room:

  Place Incubation Vessel
- If you notice when you get close to the sparks it says they flee from you. What you are supposed to do here is run around outside the cauldron on the floor herding the sparks into the cauldron so that when they flee from you, they collide in it. You do this right you won't be anywhere near the cauldron when a baby Phoenix emerges and will receive no damage at all. So, you just chase them in.
- Once the baby Phoenix has been born run up to the rim of the cauldron and empower the seal.
- Run away. (if you stay too close, you'll be eaten by the now hungry phoenix).
