Level: Sorcerer/Wizard 7
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Personal
Target: Caster
Duration: 1 round/level

Due to the mobility of the eye, the caster gains a +2 circumstance bonus on Spot checks. More important, the eye has one of the beholder’s eye powers,
determined randomly. The caster can use this power as a standard action during the spell’s duration.

Each type of eye produces an effect identical to that of a spell cast by a 13th-level caster, but it follows the rules for a ray (see Aiming a Spell in Chapter 10 of the Player’s Handbook). All of these effects have a range of 150 feet and a save DC of 18.

Roll 1d10 to see which eye the caster gains.
