Castor's Eye
"Just big enough to be uncomfortable to hold."
-Kaysta Valensra
Introduction
Castor's Eye is a powerful relic that has been known by several names, such as the Orb of Allocation, the Orb of Absorption, Kaliferimat's Gem, Kaliferimat's Crystal, Castor's Key, and the Stone of Wishes. It was created by Castor Valensra using a unique technique involving growing a crystal using magic.Appearance
When active, Castor's Eye develops a "pupil" of condensed magic within, giving it the appearance of an eye. However, when it is inactive, it appears as a cloudy white transparent sphere.Mechanics & Inner Workings
Castor's Eye is designed to absorb ambient magic and condense it within, allowing the mage to draw extra power from it when needed. This power can be used to amplify magic or cast spells without exhaustion. When the Eye is active, it develops a "pupil" of condensed magic within, which gives it the appearance of an eye, hence its name.
However, the Eye has a significant drawback. It will continue to absorb magic and become a magical singularity that destroys everything around it. To prevent this, the mage using the Eye must absorb every remnant of magic from it to turn it off, or it must be stored within a magical vacuum where it will power its enchantment until it runs out of magic to use.

Manufacturing process
Castor Valensra was a skilled crafter who developed a technique of growing a crystal with Morilan engraved within using magic. This technique became the foundation of the Glassvoices' ability when they applied it to glass under Mordred's command. Castor's Eye is one of the relics created using this technique.
