Item: Stony Hag Eye

This item appears to be an ordinary semiprecious stone and is typically mounted on a brooch or ring, but the stone is, in fact, an eyeball. This illusion can be seen through with true seeing or similar magic, and anyone who interacts with the item feels its wet and sticky surface, allowing them to attempt to disbelieve the illusion (DC 19). Many hags claim a hag eye is more effective if plucked from a living, awake creature, but this is likely just a convenient excuse for sadism.

The hag eye produces no direct benefit for the wearer, but allows the hag who created it, or any member of her coven, can peer through the eye using the Seek action. This has no range limit, provided the hag is on the same plane.

Any damage dealt to the eye destroys it. If this happens while a hag is looking through it, the hag is Blinded for 1 hour.

A stony hag eye is fashioned from the eye of a creature, such a basilisk or medusa, with a petrifying gaze.

Effect You target a creature within 30 feet that can see the stony hag eye. The target must attempt a DC 22 Fortitude save. On a failure, it's Slowed 1 for 1 minute; on a critical failure, if the creature is already slowed, it's permanently petrified. Touching the stony hag eye to the petrified creature (a single action with the manipulate trait) removes the petrified condition.

Craft Requirements You must be a hag, and the raw materials must include the eye of a creature whose gaze turns creatures to stone.
