You may use an action to shoot one of the rays listed below at a creature you can see within 60 feet of you out of your third eye. You cannot use the same eye ray two times in a row. You cannot shoot eye rays if you are blinded. You can used this ability up to three times, before needing either a short rest's.

-Wounding Ray: The target must succeed on a Dexerity saving throw, taking 11 (2d10) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. The necrotic damage from this ray increases when your sorcerer level reaches 5th level (3d10), 11th level (4d10), and 17th level (5d10).
-Slowing Ray: The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target's speed is halved for 1 minute, and it can take either an action or a bonus action on its turn, not both. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
-Fear Ray: The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Antimagic Cone

At 6th level, you can used an action project a cone of antimagic out of your third eye. Your third eye projects an area of antimagic, as in the antimagic field spell, in a 30-foot cone. At the start of your turn, you may choose the direction of the cone and whether it will cause effects or not. While the cone is active and causing antimagic, you cannot cast spells. Once used, you need to get a short rest to regain it back.

On a failure, the creature is petrified for 1 hour or until freed by the "greater restoration"  spell or other magic.
