Gameplay[]
Usage notes[]
The Wizard Eye is a fast-moving, floating, invisible eyeball monster. It counts against the 5-monster summoning limit. It is a very useful surveillance monster due to its natural speed and invisibility and fills a vital niche following BG2's nerf to Invisibility's 8-hour duration. The eyeball will be targeted by hostiles who can see through invisibility. This spell helps redeem the weakness of the Divination spell school, which is otherwise outclassed in the intelligence gathering department by Illusion.
