The caster plucks their eye from its socket, and it grows bat-like wings. It will naturally retain its original color, but effects such as eating the rose illusion can alter the color. The eye is capable of movement independant from its master, and performing vision-related tasks remotely. It can also execute a list of gruesome acts, and be used in combination with Evil Eye (717) to execute a remote mass warding attack. Minor demons will carry the eye, allowing for more accurate navigation.

This magic is only an illusion, thus cannot be a target of combat spells or effects. However, the caster can suffer very real effects if the magic expires while the eye is not in its owner's immediate area. The loss of an eye will cause the loss of 3 - 30 health and a rank 3 eye scar, leaving the the victim unable to cast.
