Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement) A strange, hollow sphere made of an unknown metal. This parasitic replacement eye contains metal strips winding and twisting in on itself in the iris, almost like a clockwork. The pupil of this eye is completely void of color at first, but somehow seems to get more color the longer it is equiped. If you have lost an eye, and you put this eye in your empty eye socket, it will function like a normal eye, giving you back your vision. This automatically attunes you when in your eye socket, and you gain the following effects.
Red: Chaotic Green: Lawful Blue: Neutral Purple: Evil Yellow: Good
Meaninglessness. The target finds themselves in a place they vaguely remember, together with someone they seem to recognise from somewhere, though they just cannot put a finger on from where. That person will tell the target that they will end up just like them: alone, without anyone to recognise them, and with no notable accomplishments. A mist creeps up on them, slowly thickening and multiplying before the target wakes up. Journey's end. The target finds themselves in their deathbed. They are unable to move or speak, and their loved one, in a very old form, sits next to them, crying. The heart beat monitor flatlines, and the targets vision gets blurry. When they open their eyes again, they are at their own burial, but no one is there. The lid of the coffin closes, and they wake up. Repetition of Trauma. The target appears in a place they experienced a trauma. While witnessing this event again, they can attempt to stop the event that causes this trauma, but no matter what action is taken, the event will inevitably take place. After the event takes place, the target freezes in place, unable to move. All living being nearby will turn to the target, creaping closer and closer while repeating the same lines over and over emotionlessly: "You could have prevented this. This is your fault. I would have done better in your place." The target then wakes up.
Curse. This Eye is cursed. Attuning to this item curses you. While under the effect of this curse, you slowly start to feel more empty and devoid of any emotion over the course of a long time span. This time may vary greatly. Some lose their sense of reality after a few days, while others who are more resistant can take months or even years to become a husk of who they once were. When finally losing all their emotions, they turn into something called a Hollow One. Upon turning into a Hollow One, their Non-Hollow eye turns into an Eye of the Hollow as well. A Hollow is a monster that is extremely envious of all others who have a strong sense of purpose. Their aggression is more focused towards aligned creatures, such as Chaotic Evil or Lawful Good, rather than those who are more neutrally aligned, such as Neutral. A Hollow One's goal is to give both their eyes to different creatures, passing away when they have given both their eyes. Curse Removal. Before a person turns into a Hollow One, their Eye can be removed, and upon being cracked open, a shiny crystal can be found. If somehow repaired, the eye will lose its cursed status, and now just function as a magic item. The crystal will be shining more brightly depending on the amount of Emotions it has absorbed from the creature it has infected. The 2 colors of the crystal depend on the alignment of its host; Red: Chaotic Green: Lawful Blue: Neutral Purple: Evil Yellow: Good
