Black Opal Eye (Magic Eye)

The black opal is a stone of great magical power, usable only by those who know its secret. Three evil wizards drew power from it and a vile reign of terror followed. These three evil women were often referred to as the Platinum Sisters, even though the magic they wielded was corrupt and dark, and they were not related. The opal eye allows its user to cast 4th- through 9th-level spells as though they were three levels lower, allowing lower-level wizards to cast spells far beyond their normal capabilities. In other words, if a wizard using the opal eye was able to use 1st-level spells, he or she could wield 4th-level spells.
Fortunately, the black opal eye has a limit. The eye only allows access to a specific number of higher-level spells. This is defined, simply, by the user's Intelligence score. The eye will allow up to the character's Intelligence score in spell levels. In other words, if a character with a 14 Intelligence uses the eye, that individual has access to 14 spell levels of high-level spells. If the same individual casts a wish (9th-level spell), he or she has used nine of the 14 spell levels, and only five remain.
