Wondrous Item, rare

This magical basilisk eye holds the power of a basilisk's Petrifying Gaze.  It is often carried within a common bullseye lantern.

You can use an action to activate the Petrifying Gaze of the basilisk eye, which functions for 10 minutes (if held within a bullseye lantern or similar object, opening the hood is included in this action). 

The hood of a bullseye lantern (or similar covering), keeps the basilisk eye from being seen. 
Once the Petrifying Gaze is activated, it cannot be activated again until the next dawn.
 

Petrifying Gaze. If a creature starts its turn within the 20 foot sphere of the basilisk eye (or 20 foot cone if held within an open bullseye lantern) and can see the basilisk eye, the creature must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature magically begins to turn to stone and is restrained. It must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn. On a success, the effect ends. On a failure, the creature is petrified until freed by the greater restoration spell or other magic.

A creature that isn't surprised can avert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If it does so, it can't see the basilisk eye until the start of its next turn, when it can avert its eyes again.

If it looks at the basilisk eye in the meantime, it must immediately make the save. 

 

 

Notes: Restrained, Petrified
