At one point , he re - organized his organization into a semi - autonomous model and retreated into the background , spreading rumors about his demise or retirement . Soon , most people forgot about the beholder slaver and in 1304 DR the Agents of the Eye were simply a large slaving ring in Skullport with no association with beholders . Meanwhile , the Eye investigated the Xanathar Thieves ' Guild , a powerful thieves guild , and in time discovered that they were also led by a beholder , a beholder of a different hive . Thus the Eye decided to take control , by killing and taking the position of Xanathar . The Eye discovered all Xanathar ' s secrets and at the same time manipulated another Skullport beholder , Uthh , into wanting to kill Xanathar .

Lesser ironguard Ironguard was an arcane spell that used the opposing schools of abjuration and alteration to temporarily render one creature immune and intangible to non - magical metal . After an improved version was developed , this spell became known as lesser ironguard . Effects . Upon casting this spell , the caster or one creature touched by the caster became completely immune to common , unenchanted metal . Metal weapons would pass through the individual without causing harm . Likewise , the target of this spell could pass through metal barriers such as iron bars , grates , or portcullises . This spell presumably applied to clothing being worn , but did not apply to items carried or attached to the " ironguarded " creature . Thus , an individual under the effects of this spell could not hold metal coins or use a weapon with a metal grip with their bare hands , but attacking with bare hands or natural weapons such as claws and fangs ignored any metal armor being worn by the victim . Properties carried by a metal object were not negated by this spell . A poison - coated dagger would still deliver its venom , and while a flaming sword would likely be magical and not affected by " lesser ironguard " , a red - hot poker would cause heat damage as it passed through the subject ' s body . Also , immunities to spells and spell - like abilities that used metal as part of their casting ( such as " blade barrier " ) were not granted by this spell . The earlier abjuration / alteration version of this spell lasted one minute for every level of the spellcaster , but if the subject was occupying the same space as a metal object when the spell expired , the subject died instantly . The later version of this spell lasted only six seconds per level of the caster , but if caught sharing space with metal , both took a small amount of damage as either the object or the subject were forced aside to remedy the overlap in location . For example , a sword would be expelled from the body , but the individual would be ejected from a heavy portcullis . Garments adorned with shandon gem s could be given an " ironguard " effect by casting this spell on one of the gemstones . Components . In addition to verbal and somatic components , this spell required a small representation of a shield rendered in wood , glass , or crystal . History . " Lesser ironguard " was created by non - specialized mages because it used techniques from two opposing schools of magic and could not be cast by strictly adherent abjurer s and transmuter s . The later versions were developed to use only abjuration magic . This spell was published in " Volo ' s Guide to All Things Magical " and became generally known to the magical community .
