"No gift comes without consequences.
No victory without cost." - Taruan Saying
A Forbidden Eye is a unique magical imbuement that merges within someone's eye to grant special skills and abilities. They are specially made and sold through a small group of travelling
Taruan merchants, who pass down their secret craft to carefully selected kin or acquittances. Many Taruan are not aware of their own specialised tradition, especially as majority forms of magic becomes more open due to the ever-growing presence of the Council of Magi and the popular
Taru International Academy. As Magi no longer have to hide their craft, the mysterious legends of Forbidden Eyes are quietly forgotten.
Characters with Forbidden Eyes
Lo Chen is known for his Eye of Potential, which analyses the potential of others. It was particularly useful in recruiting for the war, particularly being able to see the potential of one's teamwork and abilities, and the potential that they may betray the crew.
While
Lo Chen does not discuss his Forbidden Eye openly, the teachers at Taru International Academy often comment about it, usually misunderstanding the burden it brings Lo Chen. While Lo Chen's Eye of Potential is very useful in assisting and protecting the students, Lo Chen would quickly end any idle conversation about them in his classes.
Other Eyes
Doom's Eye
This imbuement allows the user to see incoming danger and doom, including one's inevitable death as well as their kin.
Ancestral Eye
Stolen and taken to another country. A very powerful eye that allows the user to master abilities that their ancestors had in the past, with the cost of many ancestors agonising the user to implement their will.
