Mystic Eyes

These powers are natural magic embodied within a person themselves, notably incarnate in the person’s eyes. One who possesses such powers has unnatural looks to their eyes: strange colours, oddly-shaped pupils, and even completely bizarre patterns are all possible.

Mystic eyes do not just grant magical perceptions. They often do as part of their greater powers, but they are primarily based around an deliberate and constant effect that is projected onto whatever one sees. Some of these require deliberate action to enact (Mystic Eyes of Death allow a person to attack death lines in people and things, destroying them utterly), while some are simply automatic (Mystic Eyes of Captivation cause people to fall in love with the viewer; Mystic Eyes of Petrification paralyses or petrifies the viewed entity).

Mystic eyes are difficult to control and to resist. As a form of sorcery, they overcome most standard magic unless it is extremely powerful (and if the mage is particularly willful). Conversely, humans who possess such power cannot suppress its effects without some sort of enchanted item or constant magical warding. Such people often have issues controlling their Eyes, and can cause a lot of damage if they are not careful.

Supernatural creatures commonly possess Mystic Eyes, developed due to their sorcerous natures. These beings often have innate ability to activate and deactivate these powers.

Mechanically, Mystic Eyes grant a power that functions constantly upon whatever the target looks upon, unless they have some method of blocking their mystic gaze (or closing their eyes). Generally, this ability can be enhanced or supplemented with a magical action that applies the gaze’s purview (Usually a A- or B-level spell). The nature of this power is best discussed with the GM.
