Hag's Eye

Constructed from gemstones of varied price and the genuine eye of a hag 's victim, Hag's Eyes are one of their most effective inventions. Hag's Eyes need a whole hag coven to make, yet the intricacies of their construction are malleable. The ritual for making a Hag's Eye is believed to take anything from an hour to three days to complete and necessitates the coven's undivided concentration.   This period is spent in a profound state of meditation, which precludes them from doing anything other than eating and drinking small amounts, and anything that interrupts the process forces them to restart. The life essence of all hags in the coven is bonded to the eye at the conclusion of the ritual, allowing all members of the coven to see what the eye could see, the eye also being able to see clearly in the dark.   A Hag's Eye looks to be a semiprecious stone on the surface, but its actual shape is a horrible, disembodied eye. Hag's Eye aren't difficult to shatter, and doing so causes immense emotional suffering for all of the hags in the coven, as well as temporarily blinding at least one of them for an entire day. Creating a new one initially needs at least a day for the blinded coven mate to recuperate, and it must be done at least three days after the eye is destroyed. Hag's Eyes are frequently coated in varnish and put into jewelry before being delivered as presents or keepsakes to unsuspecting foes and victims, allowing the hag to track their every move. They're also typically provided to a hag's minions, familiars, and animal friends, who utilize them to keep an eye on their deals, assist them in patrols, and converse by mixing their effects with spells. According to reports, a single coven can have anything from one to a practically endless number of Hag's Eyes, allowing them to use a magical surveillance system to maintain watch over their domains.
