Your eye is burn by a strong magical flame. Becuse of this your eye can use magic. In order to use the Magical Eye, you must remove one of your own eyes and replace it with the Magical Eye or get your eye burned, if you do, you gain the benefits of the Magical Eye. However, the strain of using the Magical Eye is intense and you can only use the Magical Eye for a maximum number of minutes each day equal to your Constitution Modifier, after which the Magical Eye can no longer be used until a long rest. When used outside of battle, any use of the Magical Eye counts as, at minimum, 30 seconds of use, even if used less than that time.
The Magical Eye can also be used as a spellcasting focus crystal without being active.
While active, you gain the following benefits and drawbacks:
Benefits:
- You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
- You have darkvision that can see in normal and magical darkness out to a range of 120 feet.
- You can see invisible creatures and objects, as well as see into the Ethereal Plane, out to a range of 120 feet.
- You can see the strands of magic within 120 feet of you. Magic items, conduits of magic such as other spellcasters, spells themselves, and other magical sources cause vibrations in these strands. From the vibrations you can tell what school the magic is and generally the strength of the spell (Level 1-3: Potent, Level 4-6: Dangerous, Level 7-9: Deadly)
- You can use Wisdom (Perception) rather than Intelligence (Investigation) to see through illusions.
- Note: The benefits of this sight do not pierce physical barriers (e.g., wood, metal, stone, etc.).
Drawbacks:
- You have disadvantage on saving throws against being blinded.
- After using the eye, you have reduced vision for as long as the eye was utilized. Outside of battle this reduces your vision to 30ft and removes the benefits of any other visual senses (darkvision, etc.). If used in battle, the distance is further reduced to 20ft.
- Until Character Level 8, the stress of using the Magical Eye requires immense focus. You must close your remaining eye and focus on using the Magical Eye. After Character Level 8, the stress no longer requires that you close your remaining eye and and focus on using the Magical Eye.
- If you use all of the charges of the Magical Eye in a given day, the stress of using the Magical Eye gives you a headache and you have disadvantage on any Constitution saving throws to maintain concentration on a spell until you take a long rest.
