Eye of the Void

Eye of the Void

Item 8

Price: 500 gp

Usage: Worn necklace

Bulk: L

The Eye of the Void typically appears as a small, smooth black orb of glass or crystal, 3 to 4 inches in diameter, set within a silver necklace. However, when commanded to open, the true nature of the Eye is revealed. The orb transforms into a terrifying, multi-pupilled eye belonging to an abomination from the dark spaces between the stars. This unsettling vision evokes fear and discomfort in all who behold it, as the Eye’s gaze seems to pierce through reality itself.

Activation

• [2 Actions] command, envision (occult, mental)

Effect: Once per day, the wearer can cast phantom pain (heightened to 4th level, DC 27) on a target within 60 feet. The target suffers from illusory pain and mental anguish.

Activation Requirement

If the target critically succeeds at its Will save to resist phantom pain, the Eye of the Void shatters into pieces and is destroyed. The wearer takes 1d6 mental damage as a backlash from the orb’s destruction.

Destruction Condition

A critical success on a Will saving throw against the Eye of the Void’s effects results in the item’s destruction.

phantom pain

You inflict the sensation of unspeakable pain upon the target, wracking it with intense mental anguish. The target must attempt a Will save:

• Critical Success: The target is unaffected.
• Success: The target takes 2d4 mental damage and is sickened 1.
• Failure: The target takes 4d4 mental damage and 1d4 persistent mental damage, and is sickened 1.
• Critical Failure: The target takes 8d4 mental damage and 2d4 persistent mental damage, and is sickened 2.

The spell lasts for 1 minute, and as long as the creature is taking persistent mental damage from the spell, it is sickened and can’t reduce its sickened condition below 1.
