Now keep in mind, with the Phoenix Blood, if she didn't have the spike in her head, she would have burst into flames, and then started as a baby, with all her memories. However, the spike in her head fixes her in that time spot. It forces her phoenix powers to regenerate her body at the point the spike was placed in, and no sooner. This means every bit of age she accumulates between 'deaths' is lost when she dies. Even if she remains safe long enough to die of old age, the moment she dies of old age, the phoenix power will cause her to regenerate, and the spike will make sure that power brings her body back to the physical age she had when the spike was put in her head.
In other words, she cannot die until The Fates make her.
*points* This. =)
Very good, Jaedreth. This means Shelly misspoke here when she said the spike won't let her die. In actuality it means she won't go all the way back to birth when she regenerates. This means it is just the Phoenix blood which actually causes the regeneration. The blade/spike is just a peripheral, but important factor.
So, I guess anytime she feels like she needs a face/body lift, it's suicide time!

So, you are saying that the blade in her head, gotten at the calendar machine, provides a point in time for reboots?
(That's a rather pointed, as well as timely, remark.)
