Oculator

An Oculator is someone that can activate and control an Oculatory Lens.
The Smedry family is one of the most renowned groups of Oculators. Oculatory powers are primarily hereditary, though they can be inherited either through the bloodline or through marriage. There are two known exceptions to this hereditary limitation: Warrior's Lenses and Blood-Forged Lenses can be used by anyone.
Among the Librarians, there are Dark Oculators, who often use offensive lenses and Alivened.
== Oculatory Lenses ==
Lenses are only usable by Oculators, unless they are forged in the blood of an Oculator, such as the ones used by the Scrivener's Bones. Dark Oculators sometimes use a monocle instead of the classic glasses shape, in order to focus the Lens' power. Powerful Oculators can use different Lenses in each eye, and exceptionally skilled Oculators can push power through multiple sets of Lenses, up to 7 or 8, causing them to hover in front of one another. The Oculator can choose between using all of them at once, or firing off alternating blasts of power.
The Highbrary has defenses that cause any Oculator using a Lens to glow.
Lenses include:
;Bestower's Lenses: Bestower's Lenses allow you to temporarily give someone an attribute of yours, such as strength, feelings, hunger, injuries, talents, Smedry Talents, etc. They are tinted green and purple.
;Concussor's Lenses: Concussor's Lens shoot a beam of light which, when it smashes into a target, will knock them back and render them unconscious for a few hours. This lens is used by Attica Smedry in his infiltration of the Highbrary. Biblioden also threatens Alcatraz and Bastille with them, but Alcatraz uses the Slant-viewers lenses to hit Biblioden with the beam of light
. Their tint is currently unknown.
;Courier's Lenses: Courier's Lenses allow short-range communication between two Oculators when both of them are wearing them; however, Alcatraz managed to extend that range by pushing more power into the Lenses. The user mentally hears the voice of the other Oculator and sees a hologram of their upper body. They are generally tinted baby blue.
