Well, generally characters can just acquire items. Look down the comments, it's how it works. Like one of the choices is Dean with Death's ring, and another is Sam wearing Pestilence's ring. It's legitimately ok for a character to make an unrealistic retrieval. As it would be impossible to get Death's ring, and mighty difficult for Sam to get Pestilence's ring. So, Azazel just has some Phoenix ash.
