If a PC casts darkness between a Beholder and him/herself and the Beholder's anti-magic eye looks through it, not crossing the casting point, what would the PC see?
Wherever the darkness spell's area overlaps the antimagic field, the darkness spell will disappear.
Which makes darkness very effective versus a beholder, either they antimagic the darkness and have to make bite attacks since the antimagic protects from eye rays, or they leave it alone and can't see anything inside to target with eye rays.

That would take a bit of luck. The anti-magic field could get rid of the darkness, then the beholder moves a bit to fire eye rays at whomever.

The Beholder cannot shoot it's eye-rays through it's own antimagic-cone, so it either can't shoot you, or can't see you (and therefore can't shoot you). This also works with fog clould for a bigger area.

Would the PC see an eye peering through the dark?

Thank you. This will come in handy later.

Anti-magic fields suppress ongoing effects, it doesn't end them, as soon as the beholder looks away, the darkness returns.
You are correct. I was under the impression that the magic would be dispelled rather than suppressed.
