### Description:

The Beholder's Eye is a legendary artifact that embodies the essence of intelligence, insight, knowledge, telepathy, and scrying. This artifact takes the form of a luminous yellow orb, swirling with intricate patterns that resemble an ever-shifting eye. Its surface is covered in countless symbols and glyphs that represent the mysteries of the cosmos.

### Abilities:

1. **Insightful Vision:** The bearer of The Beholder's Eye gains unparalleled insight into the world around them. They can perceive hidden truths and connections that others might miss. Once per day, they can expend an action to gain a profound understanding of a single creature, object, or location within their line of sight. This understanding provides detailed information about its nature, history, and significance.
2. **Knowledge Unveiled:** The artifact radiates an aura of knowledge that extends in a 100-foot radius centered on the bearer. Within this area, all forms of information become readily accessible. When the bearer seeks to recall knowledge or uncover hidden secrets, they receive insight and guidance that aids their efforts, effectively granting them a +10 bonus to all knowledge-based checks.
3. **Telepathic Link:** The bearer can establish telepathic communication with any intelligent creature within 100 feet. This link allows for the exchange of thoughts, ideas, and emotions, transcending language barriers. The bearer can also project their thoughts to a specific creature, sharing information or instructions directly into their mind.
4. **Scryer's Sight:** Once per day, the bearer can use The Beholder's Eye to scry on any location, creature, or event they are familiar with. This functions as the scrying spell, but the bearer's insight and connection to the artifact grant them a +10 bonus to the scrying attempt. They can also scry on multiple targets simultaneously, gaining insight into multiple locations or events at once.
5. **Insightful Wisdom:** The bearer can invoke the artifact's power to gain extraordinary wisdom and guidance. Once per day, as a free action, they can expend one use of this ability to gain a +10 bonus to all Wisdom-based checks, saving throws, and ability checks for 1 minute. This heightened awareness and connection to the artifact's insights make the bearer nearly unstoppable.
6. **Curse of Knowledge:** While attuned to The Beholder's Eye, the bearer is haunted by visions and revelations of cosmic significance. These insights can be overwhelming, causing them to become distant and consumed by the weight of their newfound knowledge. They might also find it difficult to relate to others, as their understanding of the universe can be isolating and alienating.
7. **Gaze of Revelation:** The bearer of The Beholder's Eye can focus its power to gaze deeply into the essence of a single being or object, unraveling its true nature and revealing hidden secrets. By spending 1 minute in meditation while holding the artifact, the bearer can target a creature or object within their line of sight. Upon completion of the meditation, they receive a vivid vision that unveils information about the target's past, motivations, and significant events. This ability grants the bearer a +10 bonus to any skill checks or knowledge checks related to the target for the next 24 hours. Additionally, they gain advantage on any interaction or negotiation involving the target, as their insight into its true self provides them with a distinct advantage. Gaze of Revelation can only be used once per day, and its effects cannot be resisted by magical means or mundane deception.

### Destruction:

The Beholder's Eye can only be destroyed through the union of collective knowledge and shared insight. The bearer must gather a council of the wisest and most knowledgeable beings from across the world. Together, they must perform a ritual of enlightenment, during which they share their most profound insights and experiences. This collective wisdom will channel through the artifact, ultimately causing it to crumble into motes of sparkling light, which scatter into the winds of knowledge.
