Eye of Gilbraxis
Eye of Gilbraxis
The Eye of Gilbraxis is an infernal artifact of immense magical power, fashioned to resemble an eye of bronze, brass, and pearl. Shade recovered one in Session 43 and attuned to it by replacing one of her own eyes with it.
Appearance
An artificial eye crafted from bronze, brass, and pearl. To the magically sensitive it radiates immense power. Shade, drawing on her infernal background, recognized it by name as the Eye of Gilbraxis — "or at least one of them," implying more than one may exist.
Properties
The Eye grants its bearer the ability to cast, at will and as free actions:
- Detect Magic
- Identify
- See Invisibility
- Comprehend Languages
Attunement
The Eye cannot be worn or held — to attune to it, the user must replace one of their own eyes with it. Shade did so without hesitation in Session 43; Alexios removed her eye and she seated the artifact in the empty socket.
History
Found in a hidden vault deep within Garmok's Mine in the Mere of Dead Men, in a chest alongside 6,400 red-tinted gold pieces, a set of magical full plate armor, and a Wand of Protection from Good. A disembodied voice invited the party through the concealed door before they found it.
Current Bearer
Shade, in place of one of her natural eyes.
