Making it passive seems like a good way to balance it; right now it's just too strong compared to Phoenix. Yes, I know Phoenix is practically immortal, but still.
I think skyironsword has a point there. This does seem a little too powerful for the cost... although raising cost would probably be a bad idea too. I think it may be a good idea to make its cost fused... but that would make it harder to get the bonus stats.
Even as it stands here, however, the ability seems rather situational since there are 12 quanta types in the game. This basically relegates it to mono-fire and / or creamation combos.
