This divination enhances the caster’s vision by allowing him to see through
any normal or magical darkness, fog, or mist to a range of 60 feet. In addition,
the caster has a chance of piercing magical illusions, blending, and
invisibility equal to 70% plus 1% per level of experience, less 2% per spell level. For
example, a 7th-level priest has a 70% + 7% - 4%, or 73% chance, to spot a wizard
concealing himself by using the 2nd-level spell invisibility.
Unlike the 5th-level spell true seeing, the omniscient eye does not grant the caster the ability to perceive secret doors, traps, lost or
misplaced objects, or creature alignments; it simply ensures that the caster
can see the surroundings as they would appear without the interference of
weather, lighting, or illusionary magic. Thus, the omniscient eye can be deceived by careful camouflage, concealment, or other purely physical
precautions. Other phenomena that may bypass this spell’s power include psionic
invisibility, true transparency, or extradimensional objects or creatures.
The material component of this spell is a special ointment for the eyes that
is composed of rare powders and herbs. The ointment costs at least 100 gold
pieces for a single application.
