A Starglass Eye is a relic made entirely out of Starglass, with no defects, and has been polished into a perfect sphere. It is mainly used for seeing spells – being able to see great distances, the very large, the very small, the unseen, into the mind, and through the darkness. When using two or more, they can be used as a two-way communication device. Starglass eyes can come in many sizes – from pocket-sized to gargantuan room-sized behemoths found at Gestirn University.
Starglass Eyes were developed by Gestirn University hundreds of years ago and became essential to the academia there. Astronomers and Astrologers alike use them to stare deep into beautiful nebulae, far away galaxies, monstrous black holes, and the surface of other worlds. Witches whom specialist in crystal magic pair with geologists to observe the structure and composition of Prismatia using a Starglass Eye to peer deep into the core of the planet. Starglass eyes can also magnify the microscopic, allowing Gestirn to develop germ theory, crafting arcane cures to once deadly diseases.
Much like Starglass itself, the Everstar nobility heavily regulate the use and manufacturing of Starglass Eyes, though they are still the most common form of Starglass that can be found in circulation. The Everstar nobility use smaller eyes as a secure form of communication to maintain their hold on power, so wherever the nobility are found on the world of Prismatia, a Starglass eye is probably close by. Larger Eyes are installed in town centres and places of gathering where they are heavily guarded and used for special occasions; a “gift” from the nobility of the Everstar to the people of Prismatia, as a gesture of goodwill. Though, many believe the Everstar place Eyes in strategic locations where they can easily spy on their surroundings. Eyes can also be found in mundane places, such as medical and scientific equipment, security systems, and train stations.
