Eye of the Serpent High Witch Item in Manarchy | World Anvil

Eye of the Serpent High Witch

This blasphemous witch took our leader's own eye and keeps it to mock us. This will not go unpunished; i want everyone in the clan to work out their connections and make her a target for all. She won't rest a day on these lands without the snake closing it's coils around her.
    Origin   While the eye itself was not a singular thing by itself, and being more of that 'component' of the High Witch (name), the eye became it's own subject of conversation when said High Witch died while fighting Leenagi, The Eel Witch . As the survivor lost an eye in the encounter, she decided to go with the 'eye for an eye' mantra and take her enemy's eye. At the moment, the chaos and danger was so high attempting a forbidden fleshmending ritual was a matter of survivability.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

While the eye itself became inert, it was added on Leenagi through the process of a flesh-mending ritual. The eye does not 'work' unless it is reconnected to someone's optical nerves.   Since the wole body of an High Witch gets the boon of its host, the stealing of the eye by Leenagi from its former holder made such that the future chosen of the Snake totem, (X), didn't not received a complete attunement, and as such, (X) reached a certain 'soft floor' in their abilities which revolves around sight.   Actually, the current holder can use a limited capacity of innate powers from the snake totem, which enhances over time but also after using more of it's power. As such, Leenagi is able to use certains tricks from this school, which she usually should not be able to do so. If an attuned body part of a High Witch is used as such and the new host being chosen, said current title holder can have a sense of someone using it, and is rumored to be able to pinpoint the user the more said person relies on its borrowed power.

Significance

Only a select number, mostly witches, knows it's capable to channel partially the energy of the snake totem, and keep the information secret to avoid greedy witch hunters to look more actively for them and farm organs.
