Concept - Phoenix (on)

And, engaged. Fire is so fun to draw. Brief explanations of things -- I'm no engineer, but the parts I'm making up will, hopefully, be explained away by this other world having slightly different laws, despite its similarity to Earth. At least, that's what I'm standing by.

All the power supplied to Magis are supplied through the magnetic packs which, as the name implies, are fueled by magnetic power. There is a strong magnetic core inside of each of the city-isles, and in many of the country-isles as well. The magnetic packs are most compatible with those environments, feeding partially from the energy the cores provide, and work on much lower power settings without their presence. Since the Phoenix is often operating away from the magnetic cores (and, off the grid, as it were) she has need of much more energy than the average Magi -- which is the cause for the small power pack at the front of her belt, as well as all the adornments, which help to supply minimal, but necessary, power. There is a lot of power expended simply for appearances' sake. The make the Phoenix look like the bird that is her namesake, to strike fear, awe, and hope into the hearts of enemies and comrades alike. 
The goggles are necessary for her to wear whenever she uses the fire -- so that she may see enough to control, and without damaging her eyes. The black lining visible primarily on the palm of her hand and around her neck is a stand-in material for metal. It is a stiff fabric, but one that is at least more pliable than metal, and serves to conduct energy in places which need more of a range of motion than metal would allow for.
Even her beads bear significance, for, when pressed, she will tear one or two out of her hair and use in an emergency, as each has been crafted into a sort of weapon. 
The only object on her that does not seem to function in any way in particular is the ring on her left thumb -- but she certainly won't be the one to tell you what it signifies. She hasn't told me.
