Charnel Eye Amulet

The Charnel Eye Amulet is a unique creation of Kaiyō designed in the image of the Jūbi and is used for means of torture, interrogation and in some cases executing.

## Apperance

This Amulet if one is able to call it that is incredibly strange in terms of appearance, molded into the shape of a head that has an open smile revealing its white teeth and red gums that, above its cheekbones on each side of its face are three stacked eye sockets that emit a red glow and in the center is a single, cycloptic crimson eye.

## Usage

Kaiyō’s Charnel Eye is quite different than any other tool in the architect’s arsenal as it does not involve direct combat like many other expect, instead it is meant to be used after the opponent has been subdued or if Kaiyō is able to find the slip opportunity to use it in battle.  In order for it to even work though he first needs to make sure that his opponent’s eyes come into contact with the Charnel Eye, upon doing so he is capable of casting his opponent into a powerful genjutsu that works quite differently than most others.  Rather than place the target in a fake illusionary mist or make them believe they are catching on fire, this genjutsu is one that revolves around nightmarish visions that while differing from time to time, often involve the same heavily scripted events that can quite literally drive them mad.

The victim first sees a throne of gore that is piled on high with the broken bodies and skulls of those that are close to them.  Sitting upon it is Kaiyō who seems as if he had lived in the ocean’s depths for hundreds of years, his body turned a greyish blue, his teeth yellow and rotted and all of his hair has been replaced by seaweed.  Once he is acknowledged by the victim he forces them to watch as the old world is cast into a charnel pit and from it a new one is reborn in Kaiyō’s image.  This world is more often than not one that contains a sea made of boiling blood, where the skies above are darker than the midnight tides and the sages are transformed into malformed creatures whose faces are replaced by a horrific mass of writhing tentacles.  After this Kaiyō tosses them into the charnel pit along with the old world and subjects them to the most horrid of eldritch terrors, most likely breaking their spirit and mind at once.

Obviously this is no more than a powerful genjutsu that the opponent is placed under while their body is rendered still, but it does give Kaiyō ample time to activate the Charnel Eye’s second effect which is to execute the enemy.  In order to execute his opponent Kaiyō commands the amulet to open its mouth, where it then begins to release the infamous Kuromizu, however instead of it flowing from its jaws like water it is emitted in the form of a pitch black mist that surrounds the area.  This mist in turn begins to absorb all of the opponent’s physical energy as quickly as it is able, oftentimes requiring a few seconds for those who do not have a high life force and sometimes taking much more time with people who have a higher life force.  Thankfully this black mist absorbs the physical energy in such a way that not only does it not wake up his opponent from the genjutsu, the allies his opponent might have around him area typically put off by the mist and are reluctant to help their friend.
