The Eye of Balor

When Lugh drove Balor’s Eye out the back of his head in the final battle between the Formians and the Tuatha, Bres the Beautiful used magic to capture and contain the psychic and mystic essence of the powerful giant, creating what is still known as “the Eye of Balor.” It looks like a dark, round gemstone, barely fitting into a man’s hand. Within is a reddish storm of pure psychic power, the essence of Balor’s might, barely contained by Bres’ powerful spells. In fact, the Eye is not a stone at all, but a construct of energy.
The Eye of Balor also carries risks: wielding the eye can infect the wielder with the primal forces of chaos, causing a minor mutation or change. The more this happens, the more pronounced the changes become. The warping effect of the Eye can also influence the wielder’s mind as well as body. Bres’ apparent lack of mutations may be due to his shapeshifting power, his cautious use of the Eye, or an explanation for his vicious cruelty and obsession with Earth.
