Eye of Mystra

This spell can be used only by true servants of Mystra. All others who cast it only see a floating, feminine eye appear. The eye winks mockingly at them and then vanishes.

An eye of Mystra appears as an all-knowing, beautiful human orb about the size of the caster's head. Its pupil is a very dark blue, and its lashes are long and black. It bends its gaze on a single being or item chosen by the caster, and a visible ray of cold blue light as large as the eye, and as long as is necessary, leaps out from it.

The ray never misses, and when it falls on the chosen item or being, all magic is removed from that target- including memorized spells and enchantments that have not taken effect yet or are long term. Magical aging and longevity are both reversed, and any magical disguises or shapechanges are stripped away. Healing, neutralize poison magic, and the like that occurred in the past are unaffected. Psionics are also unaffected by this spell, as are other items or beings the ray may pass over or touch on. Only the chosen target is “disenchanted.”

This spell does not remove spellcasting ability from any creature, though its draining effect on magical items is permanent. Magical artifacts are immune, or partially immune, to the effects of the eye.

An eye of Mystra fails when used against a being who is one of the Chosen of Mystra. If the caster of an eye of Mystra is forced to use the spell under compulsion, its effect is only the mocking wink.

Notes: Restricted to true servants of Mystra (the Forgotten Realms setting goddess of magic)- the Seven Sisters, Elminster, and a few others; very rare.
