Arcane eye, also known as wizard eye,[7] was an arcane divination spell that allowed its caster to spy on things from a distance.[12][6]
Effects[]
The spell would create an invisible floating "eye",[12][7][6] about one inch (two and a half centimeters) in diameter,[7] which would provide the caster with visual information.[12][7][6] The eye could see up to ten feet (three meters) with infravision[7] and with a normal visual range after that[7][6] and could move between 30 feet (9.1 meters)[7] to 300 feet (91 meters) per minute.[6] It moved more slowly if the caster was looking more than only straight ahead.[6] The eye could be created anywhere within sight but could move to any distance from the caster.[6]
Solid barriers blocked the eye, but it could fit through holes that were not smaller than its diameter.[12][6] It could not pass through portals or other means of entering other planes.[6]
Although the eye could not be used unless the caster was actively concentrating, a break in concentration merely disabled the eye and did not end the spell, and concentration could be resumed later.[7][6] The spell was effective even if the caster was blind or in an area of magical darkness, as long as the eye itself was not.[7]
Components[]
A glassy floating arcane eye.
The spell took a full ten minutes to cast and required verbal, somatic, and material components.[6] The material component was a bit of bat fur.[12][7][6]
History[]
This spell was the first of many developed by Netherese arcanist Trebbe in −2280 DR. It was then called Trebbe's eye.[1][13]
