![]() ![]() No relation to Magic Eye, that autostereogram thing where if you look at it just right, you can see a cat or a dolphin or whatever. ![]() The technological equivalent is Electronic Eyes. Do not confuse with Faceless Eye or the more mundane Death Glare. If the magical eye can cause hypnosis, it's a Hypnotic Eye. A Third Eye is usually magical as part of its symbolism. See also Eye Beams for a more directly offensive use of eyes. Magical eyes can be any color, but are usually glowing unusual colors like Red Eyes, Take Warning or two colors at once. ![]() Furthermore, the "uniqueness" of the Magical Eye compared to its more mundane non-magical counterpart can serve as a Duality Motif, symbolically highlighting a contrast in its bearer's own character. Even more symbolic, the eye possessing the power is almost always the character's left eye (the left eye is considered the "sinister" eye, as "sinister" was once a word for "left"), though it can be the right eye and/or both eyes as well. The Magical Eye is often used as an excuse to apply certain patterns or symbols to a particular power, therefore making it Cool and Symbolic. If only one eye has magical abilities, an Eyepatch of Power is very likely, especially if this eye possesses a distinct look, like color or shape (which might only appear during active use). In most cases, direct eye contact or at the very least line-of-sight is required. Usually, the eye grants the user power over perception, either the target's (illusion, mind control) or the user's (telepathy, premonitions, clairvoyance, etc). As we head into an awesome weekend ahead I hope we all try harder to watch with glittering eyes the world around us, looking for new friends who come across our path and watching for new opportunities that open up to us.One or both of a character's eyes have great supernatural power. We notice people and opportunities in our path because we are looking for those lucky encounters to take place – and so they do. We tend to look for positive meaning when we feel our lives are lucky. When we see ourselves as lucky and blessed we will find ourselves noticing our surroundings much more. I love the part of the quote that says to “watch with glittering eyes” because I believe that hope is what gives us those glittering eyes. We choose to believe that every situation we face is one meant to help us grow and improve and excel in our lives. We choose to have hope and faith for good things to come. We choose to make the magic in our lives. I have seen people who are facing crazy hard trials still see the magic that exists all around them. I have seen people with next to nothing material in their lives who are incredibly happy. I think our attitude about our life plays the greatest role of all in our level of happiness. I believe that when we set our sights on goals that seem bigger than we ever imagined they would be that we set our course for one filled with magic and amazement. I believe that when we hope for great things that great things will come. I believe in magic…I believe we actually make our own magic by the way we think, the dreams we dream, the goals we set, and our vision for our future. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” -Ronald Daw “Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. ![]()
